As a perso who has consistently played this mod since before the map was implemented I would say that the enthusiasm for the mod (at least for me) always peaks when new updates with cool new features are added. Updating to a new version of minecraft wouldn't just be a tedious undertaking that would take ages to make releasable I'm assuming it would take quite a few smaller updates afterwards to incorporate the new features that may belong in middle earth (ie. polar bears, functional shields, etc.) into the world. The number of new features that belong in middle earth gained by updating the mod would be too few to make it worth the time, so please just focus on bringing middle earth to minecraft instead of bringing minecraft to middle earth. :D
