Cypher Universal?

I am curious whether the upcoming revision of Cypher is more about unifying the system with a single core book and presenting everything else as a setting book. This idea is supported in the character creator, in that you can "rename" the professions to a new title, given the world you are adventuring in.

This way, settings like The Strange and Numenera can be significantly simplified without needing to repeat the core rules in each book, and those books can focus more on monsters, artifacts, cyphers, the world, NPCs, and setting info. Eliminating all rule repetition would be a vast improvement, turning the setting books more into setting guides, like the GURPS add-on books are currently.

This would also focus all Cypher games around the character creation tools and unify and streamline the entire experience of playing the system. In the Diamond Throne book, I did not need the Cypher rules again, and would have liked far more monsters, NPCs, and setting info.

I get the point of making this a standalone set, but when it comes down to it, I am using the Cypher Character Creator (and Godforsaken) to build my characters for this setting, not the rules in this book.

With the Cypher SRD integrated, this could open up opportunities for many third-party creators to build for the system.

Additionally, making Numenera and The Strange into Godforsaken-like add-on books for the core system would allow them to better integrate with the character creation tools and be checked on and off as character options. Done this way, we can keep all the old add-on books just as they are, and the new settings would add to the tools we already have.
