Default Re: GURPS 5E?

Instead of a 5th edition, I'd rather see boxed sets similar to DFRPG that feature resources stripped down to what is needed for a specific genre--Cosmic Horror, Monster Hunters, Mission X (modern/near modern Action), Space Opera, Hard Vacuum (perhaps a less specific version of Transhuman Space, Car Wars, After the End, etc. These might not do someone like me a whole lot of good, but (in my estimation) would be better at pulling in new players than just another set of books. And new players is what GURPS needs far more urgently than a 5th edition. Plus, the bling in the box might be enough to make someone like me, who already has what I need to run something like Cosmic Horror adventures, purchase the boxed set anyway.
