Most of the non-lotr components are found in the End, which players on servers are forbidden to enter anyway. If you ask me, redstone is a worse problem than elytra (which is not elictric or mechanic). And the combat system can be reworked or core-modded out, so no real problem there. Besides, if a server owner dislikes a feature, he/she can ban it from Middle-earth, like redstone and the nether blocks and items.

I highly doubt that updating the mod would ruin it (gameplay wise, anyway; it might create some horrendous bugs). The only question is whether it is worth Mevans' time or not.

And is it? I don't know. But if Mevans finds an easy way to recode the mod, then I see no reason why he won't.
