Have either of the megamods been updated in the last year?

Is this to be taken as an indication that a lot of modders have gravitated towards RFB + RSRDC rather than the alternatives? I am fairly adept at shoehorning mods into other mods, but its been a long time since I've messed with the files in an SH4 folder, so I'm not super keen on picking a megamod that's going to force me to refresh my modding skills just to play with the mods I want...

This is simply my own opinion but i think people gravitate toward modding RSRD in particular due to the fact that its more singularly focused on the campaign etc.. leaving the Interface, most sounds and the environment to be changed with less impact on the existing mod... The others change all these aspects if i am not mistaken. Like webster said as well, most creators see these mods as finished... that being said, it would be hard for someone else try and improve what these guys have already done to be really honest. They are all pretty superb and when people do mod them it is usually for personal taste or ease of gaming (color changes to environment and replacing contact icons etc).

My problem is that I have a tendency to add a bunch of the non-included, yet still useful mods like SCAF, Easy AOB, or some of the modern subs to have some less realistic fun. While a lot of these do make efforts to be compatible with TMO and RFB, I'm still seeing a lot more "Designed using RFB + RSRDC" right now than TMO.
