GURPS Basic Set 4E, Revised...?

Yes, America, land of "free trade," where the laws are designed to create monopolies. Internet services and modems work exactly the same way as cell phones. It's great.

Campaigns would ditch Infinite Worlds and add computer rules from Ultra-Tech, trap rules from Dungeon Fantasy, chase rules from Action, Hiking rules from High-Tech, Telegraphic Attack from Martial Arts. The animals would be in the new Bestiary format that is in Dungeon Fantasy and have their attacks specified...

I know they've said that there will be no 4E compendium, and I understand not doing that with pure generic rules-sets like the Power-Ups. But collecting the complementary skills, hiking, telegraphic attack, chase, trap, etc. rules as an Upgrade/Compendium III would be really nice, since each of those are buried in a larger genre book.

For that matter, has everything in Compendium II been updated to 4E yet? I know the Basic set is missing the worked-example diseases and poisons and herbs, outdoor hazards, atmospheres, gravity, pressure, pollution, radiation, Enigmatic Alien Device Button-Pushing Table, and healing tech rules. Lots of the cinematic combat and ritual combat rules aren't in Basic either. I'm guessing the mass combat and abstract vehicular combat have been updated in some other book, though. Are the atmosphere, gravity, and pressure rules updated in Space?

Also, what is the new bestiary format? Does any website or thread have a generic/template version of it? I may want to use it in writing/updating worldbooks.
