It has only been a month, not really sure what the hurry is. I didn't see anything in 1.5 that I consider must-have. Most of the added functionality already exists in mods I'm using today. 
Redpower 2 future in FTB?

No, but this is just a matter of being a normal social being. People might worry about her because she disappeared.
As long as the other mods aren't up to date this discussion is kinda pointless as we all still have to wait regardless.
If every single mod in Ultimate is up to 1.5 and RP is the only thing preventing a release then I think RP should be dropped (assuming we still haven't heard anything from Elo by that time). Or at least a beta update should be rolled out for all of those willing to move on without RP. That way anyone who wants to wait can just stick with the current version (which shouldn't automatically update) and anyone willing to move on can do so.
For me 1.5 has some decent features, but it's mostly the updates to mods that already are on 1.5 that make me say "drop RP and move on". Heck, even on 1.4.7 I feel Ultimate is behind many of the actively developed mods and should've gotten an update some time ago.
For the time being however I think we should just wait and see what happens.

then stay in 1.4.7, if you think new features that will be added in the 1.5 versions of the mods aren't worth it (like thaumcraft 3.1, xycraft, EE3, thermal expansion, MMMpowersuites, MFR, etc) then thats your problem.
Once again, it's already be said. The mod shouldn't be removed yet. But if it goes maybe another 2-3 months and we're sitting here and it's the last mod that needs to be updated, then FTB should drop it.
Thank you for finally stating that. I thought I was alone in saying that. But then again...Most of the added functionality already exists in mods I'm using today.
Why not both? *Mexican music*
Exactly this. People that think they are somehow owed simply because they are fans or use a product need to shut the fuck up. If anything WE owe HER for having had the opportunity to benefit from her work. How people can be so diluted to think after the COUNTLESS hours she put into RP and Forge itself they are somehow OWED by her is mine boggling. Get this though your fucking heads, people: she has a life, and a dayjob and family. this is her hobby, you understand? Now fuck off.
- Every overworked coder and decent human being
Who? The people that actually matter Im sure she already contacts. Or are you talking about people like you? How ADOREABLE! im sure its not becuse you just want to know when some mod is being updated. You actually CARE. What horseshit.
get off the owed attitude, people. You bring down the FTB community and make yourself look like complete douche bags, and even more so when you try and (poorly) veil it with care<3(TM)
I don't think you read the earlier posts. We've already stated that we understand that she has a life outside of modding. Once again, I don't like RP2. I don't care about the mod. But it's only logical to drop mods that can't keep up with the pace of Minecraft. Also, please don't resort to name calling. We're not 5 years old. I would hope you could come up with a more intelligent response then calling us names. I expected more of you. But I guess that's to be expected on the internet.
You're right. She doesn't owe us anything. But what kind of person makes a mod in a community that is known for being social with mod makers and then expects to be a modder that doesn't ever tell the community what's happening. She doesn't go in twitter and tell us her life story. All she has to do is make it clear the she enjoy's being apart of FTB and that she enjoys making mods. That way we can get something to go on. Right now, it seems like she just doesn't care. Maybe i'm weird, but if I made mods and I didn't have the time to do it, I would at least say something like "yea. I love making mods. I just don't have time. Kthxbai."

lolwut? All I saw was swearing, swearing and more swearing. I think I need to say this again, this is a family forum! (I'm pretty sure)
First paragraph, yes. (except for the not liking RP2 part) Second part, partially yes. Eloraam sees her mod as a 'work of art' rather than a mod. It might be epic, which it is, but it's still just a mod. It comes in the same category as those noob mods that makes dirt drop diamonds. I can't stand that. But it's still a mod, just like RP2. Eloraam just needs to consider it just the same as everything else.
Edit: Why didn't my post merge? Doesn't it do that?

It's not the vanilla update that matters, it's all the other mods which are no generating content for 1.5.1 only.
TE, MFR, and AE all have some serious content, and that's just off the top of my head.
No one on this thread will be happy. Some people want updates from a private person and others are fine with waiting.
Placeable liquids (Forge general, available in TE) Rednet (MFR) and Fuzzy interfaces (AE)
That's just off the top of my head, and I sell ponies to be ground up for dog food.
I find myself using RP2 a lot in my sorting rooms and gadgets. I'd hate to see it go, it's just one of those things that comes in so handy. Hopefully the mod author is okay.
Wow this thread exploded recently, I read up to page 8 and gave up because the back and forth bullshit was unchanging, and the sheer amount of self entitled douchebaggery was just annoying me needlessly.
DW20 pack is regulated by Direwolf20, when he wants to update, with or without RP2, he will do so. FTB has no say.
Mindcrack pack is regulated by the Mindcrack team, namely Guude. When he wants to update, with or without RP2, he will do so. FTB has no say.
Ultimate pack is regulated by the FTB team, when they want to update, with or without RP2, they will do so.
Theres 3 different packs with 3 different regulatory sources, chances are that if RP2 really has been discontinued, then at least one of these will not update. Hell They may just keep a 1.4.7 pack out indefinitely for those that want to play RP2, and update the other packs as they wish.
Basically, you have no right to demand anything from Elo or the FTB team so stop acting like you do. Set of standards? Yeah for YOURSELF, not public standards that others have to adhere to, that idea is absurd.

What's that? There's no such page in that wiki...
BTW, that's a huge changelog of AE...
Okay I am going to say something unliked. Distance yourselves from humans. Focus on your own life. What they do is none of your concern. I already figure mod authors, as well as others like you tube personalities, are far too busy to interact with people. So I tend to leave them as much alone as possible. Hence why waiting doesn't bother me. Also why I harp on people having lives.
hmm i didnt see him DEMANDING neither Elo or the FTB team anything he said he thought that was a good idea that FTB set standards for mods so in the future this type of issue does not arise as far as i saw did he at any point demand that they change
