Howboutno. Unless you just want the same thing we already have. I want an epic ruleset that is much better playtested. Frankly levels 10-20 need reworking because, IMO, they begin to "feel" epic to me around level 12 in power, the way it works now the game has gotten to be not fun and I actualy opt to stop playing that high with the rules as they are now. The higher levels in plain old D&D need to be redone before a suitable epic rule book can be plugged on top of them. Call me a cynical curmudgeon. :P

It's not fair to deprioritize one project for another that may be more lucrative Well seeing as though Secrets of the Dead Lands is an Athas.org project and the Epic Level Handbook is a Wizards of the Coast thing - I do not see how priorities would get messed up. Athas.org would and should just be going ahead with their own material, and if at some further time a new book comes out, then the material they did would not be totally obsolete, it would just have to be revised and updated slightly. It is not like WotC would totally throw out all proir Epic material - they would just give us more with, hopefully, a clearer picture.

As for the Secrets project - well I not know about any date (seeing as how I am not a part of Athas.org and no one has felt the need to tell me) and but I would still expect that the Secrets stuff will b released "sometime" in the future - like the Athasian Equipment Guide (which is another red herring I have been looking forward to). :D In the words of Master Yoda, "Patience young one."
