I know that Forgotten Realms will be default setting for new edition. But Eberron and Dark Sun also get they setting books. Will Greyhawk get his own new edition?

Mike Mearls wants a Greyhawk Hardback setting book as well as a City of Greyhawk book!!
Ok NOW im starting to get excited about 5E!
The PHB has a list of Greyhawk deities and their symbols and suggested domains. The Greyhawk name is also dropped here and there among the race descriptions.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
Fingers crossed! I would definitely jump back in fully if Greyhawk was made available.
This needs to happen.
I have just finished reading through my various downloaded and hardcopy acquisitions and dusted-off Greyhawk publications.
It was a joy to see how damn dark and gritty the setting was - I'd kind of half forgotten that...
I am starting a campaign with friends which begins in 597CY and goes from there - with a little jiggle room on late chronologies and shoehorned in adaptations I've got Lost Mines of Phadelver set out of the village of Five Oaks in the lands of Greyhawk, then (if necessary) three levels of the party following their own projects and me writing adventures for them to suit.
Then they either;
1. Get pulled into Return to the Ruins of Greyhawk by an agent of Mordenkainen and finally meet the Great Wizard where he'll send them into the depths of the dungeons under the Tower of Magic.
2. Learn of the problems in Hommlet and eventually have to take on the resurgent Temple of Elemental Evil.
By the time they come out of that they'll be 13th-14th level and ready to either liberate Geoff, lead an assault on the weakened Iuz and his Empire or perhaps hit the Scarlet Brotherhood? Maybe they will go into the Underdark to end the shadow behind the giant invasions, perhaps Return to the Tomb of Horrors, or maybe smash the Slavers once and for all and give the Scarlet Brotherhood a bloody nose they will never forget?
I can't wait to see what they decide to do, in this, the most iconic world of all...
I really want to see a Greyhawk Sourcebook and adventures.
Actually, that's what will effect me running 5e or not.
I have a 5e PHB and I enjoy the system... but for now, I have lots of the older Dungeon Magazines that I can run with 3.5/Pathfinder.
However, if they release any new stuff, I'd totally run it
FWIW Chris Perkins recently made a tweet referencing the World of Greyhawk Gazeteer rather enigmatically! twitter https://twitter.com/ChrisPerkinsDnD/status/520385395323060224/photo/1
A Greyhawk setting hardback would be sooooo sweet. That would really give the push to transition to 5th!
Not counting Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk, the last book detailing the setting was published almost 14 years ago!. I think now is time to have a beautiful, color, improved and expanded hardback .
It would be psyched if they did a Greyhawk hardback!

I haven't played D&D since 1st edition, but 5e has me intrigued - enough so that I bought the starter set, and plan to run it for my pals in the next few weeks. If they make a 5e version of Greyhawk, they'll rope me in for sure. 
ToEE I believe is getting a book, or at least some sort of release I hope. Greyhawk is where I want to set my campaign because I want something established to draw from, but so many people know a little too much about FR in my opinion. In a campaign I play in the half-orc druid with a hermit background knew right away to avoid Undermountain and a few other dangerous eras we've happened upon. Perhaps lore and stories of these places are boogymen, but he'd give specific reasons in-character and that takes away a little of the adventure for me personally.
I mean at least with a place that contains the name "Elemental Evil" you can at least assume it's probably not a welcoming environment right away.
There also seems to be much left said about the campaign. Where there are gods, lands, heroes, and enemies named there still seems to be that open bit of wild area where players can fill in some blanks with exploration. That appeals to me.
I hope we get some printed material, because I enjoy the products thus far, but I'm looking forward to building into granddaddy of them all.
Is that a Thunder Rift map?
It would be really awesome if Greyhawk was supported by DD5 with the release of a few books/adventures for that setting. And it's true that with the background from this edition, it would be really nice to add the flavor of the different regions of the world of Oerth.
I am running a Greyhawk campaign in 5e. It takes place in the City of Greyhawk, 595 CY. To facilitate this, I went thru all the previous box sets and gazetteers and cut / paste them together, distilling them down into two documents. They include all the art work and maps possible. One is called Free City of Greyhawk (125 pages) and the other is Domain of Greyhawk (101 pages). There is no new text. This isn't some note book filled with house rules or stories about my campaign. I have edited together everything that has already been published. I used Snipping Tool to capture pics from pdfs, which I inserted into a word doc, then saved as a pdf. If two or more books described the same thing, I took whichever description I thought was best. It took about 90 hours of work to do this. Hope you like it.
The source material I used includes:
The City of Greyhawk box set
From the Ashes box set
Greyhawk- The Adventure Begins
Greyhawk- Player's Guide
Expidition to the Ruins of Greyhawk
In a way, I hope they don't publish any new books for Greyhawk. It would render all I have done obsolete.
