Elondir's comments from the "Emergency Meeting" thread caught my interest, but as it seems to be a bit of a tangent to what that particular thread is actually topic'd for, I though I'd start a separate discussion entirely.

Greyhawk, even with the limited use it got in 3E, still had to adapt to things like dwarven wizards. That wasn't so bad, and I'll agree that it was nothing compared to what 4E is doing to the Realms. Based on what we've seen, I do fear for what changes 4E would wreak upon the other settings.

I would hate to see every setting have to make room for every part of 4E. Maybe after they get done with the Realms and Eberron, they won't feel that same need.

Maybe something like Birthright would escape more or less unscathed. It is not the kind of world where tieflings and dragonborn would be expected to exist. Planescape, though, would have to be radically altered, since it gave so much focus to ideology, and now the cosmology and alignment systems have been radically altered.
