Why wouldn't 3rd parties all of a sudden continue releasing plugins? It's all about SDK which Avid creates. For now, the SDK is available for OSX and Windows, but there is no reason why Avid could not make a Linux SDK -- then 3rd party developers will just have to compile against another platform but it's not that much different compared to releasing OSX PPC yesteryear and OSX Intel today.

Of course, that would mean 100% closed system and all plugins would have to be 64-bit AAX compatible. Now that sounds more like a solution
