In time mods will move to vB5 just as they did with vB4 but perhaps slower. For developers it really comes down to two things: the amount of change required and corresponding demand.

When vB first announced 5 there was nothing created, nothing to referance and nothing to talk through but with early adopters that's starting to shift and there's a library of work to see and learn from.

However while vB4 required a template change which took some time but was overall an issue of remapping vB5 is a much different backend structure, much more formal and thus no small task, especially for a bigger mod. The vB of course team knew this would happen but sometimes you have to break things to improve them.

So until the demand spikes up from actual use it's just not likely to see a ton developed although it's encouraging to see what's already done.
