Wow, by pure accident I stumbled on this discussion at the SJ Games website here. GURPS is getting a revised single-volume omnibus rulebook apparently to be release in March(ish) for $79.95. The changes are described in the article, which mostly sound like a clean up, and the part that got some people worried related to sensitivity changes....though the changes they indicate make sense, so I am not sure it's fair to call it "sensitivity" changes so much as "pragmatic modernization reflecting the sensibilities of 2026." I am curious as to how this works out for subjects such as slavery, which has a section in the Campaigns book, chiefly because GURPS as a system was written primarily for historical and realistic gaming, and it was assumed that such rules would be needed. On the other hand, I have never in my many years I ran GURPS actually needed any of those specific rules, so there ya' go.
Either way I am and ever shall be a grand proponent of GURPS, so I will take anything I can get in terms of the game continuing and being available in print. Once it's out and I have my copy I'll write about if the changes were worth it.
