So I'm curious to know if FTB has any kind of timeline for when major modpacks might start becoming available for 1.9/1.10? I realize a lot of this comes down to the individual mod authors updating their mods (or designing new ones for the new version as with TerraFirmaCraft 2). Is there a general consensus that the modding community is going to stick with 1.7.10 for a bit longer yet, or are they finally ready to move on to 1.9+? I recognize a few mods have made the jump already: RFTools, ModularStorage, Blood Magic, etc. but it seems like a lot of the big tech mods like Thermal Dynamics, Applied Energistics, Big Reactors, GalactiCraft, etc. have not yet made the leap and I'm just wondering when/if any of those mods might be available and if FTB will make modpacks for later versions of Minecraft when/if those mods get updated.
To be clear, I'm not asking you to go ask these mod authors for me. I'm asking if anyone is aware of what the status is of various disparate mods in general. Many times a lot of the mod authors sort of know one another and make tentative plans to update things around the same time, and I'm wondering if anyone has heard of any such plans for 1.9 and later versions of Minecraft. I seem to recall that when FTB Inventions was released, the guys designing the pack mentioned that it would probably be one of FTB's last packs for 1.7.10 and so they didn't want to do a major ground-up modpack like Infinity Evolved, but there weren't any more specific kinds of timeframes put on that statement. Anybody familiar with something more specific?
