At this rate, with Mojang not giving a chance to update our mods and advancing to 1.4 already and 1.5 is well underway, we are f*cked! Tekkit/Technic could not be updated because certain mods (EE3, RedPower), were not available at this stage. Also, introducing the new LAN support in 1.3, also caused most of the mods a whole re-write and some mods (Mo' Creatures and Mo' Creeps) couldn't even get to the release stage.
Many people believe Tekkit has gone brain dead because of this, although, it's not really the end of the world. Maybe when Mojang stop updating, and give us a break, Tekkit will hopefully be revived again.
