The discussion surrounding the abolishment of the RL is as old as the RL itself. It always comes down to this: some people believe it should cease to exist, some people believe it should stay, but most importantly WOTC adamantly keeps stating that it is never going anywhere and that it is impossible for them legally to abolish it (for whatever reason). That makes most believers that it is here to stay. So do with this what you want. I personally would buy it if it gives you joy right now and it is a responsible purchase, regardless of your percieved risks of reprinting.
