Will there be a Decade Edition Trance?

The Trance has stayed in production nearly as long as the Subcom, has spawned a 42 variant, ans some edge and finish variants. I'd love a satin VG-10/CF treatment for this and would probably buy at least two, although I'd probably turn one into a Whart. Any support for this, or is one forthcoming and I don't know it?
 
Seriously, does anyone know this? The Nano and Titan have been in production for far less time than the Trance--the Trance ought to have a commemorative version.
 
I know some folks have had bummers with their Decade editions of various models, but I have been lucky with mine in the Nano and Subcom flavors. I have also been lucky in general, in that I have never gotten a Boker bad enough to return for a refund or exchange. I think Gimp is on to something here, in that the small knives can get material upgrades and still hit a price point where it's not a big deal to double up on them, or replace them when lost. I like to carry and use my Decade Subcom, but I do so knowing that I may not be able to get another if I lose it--and I have lost several Subcoms over the years. I never tried a Trance, mostly because I get distracted by shiny things like H1 steel in a Dragonfly, translucent FRCP, or a triad lock on a blade shape I like. VG10 and carbon fiber are also shiny to my eyes, and Chad's designs seem to really work for me....So will somebody please make the toys we want so we can give them our money? A regular product line upscaled from the Economy models would be awesome, but if sprint runs are what we get then lets get to the starting blocks.
 
Looking at the F3 variants thread and the German Boker link, I think my question has been answered. The German site only lists the standard Trance available, with the 42 and CE models sold out. It looks as if the Trance is going the way of the dodo.
 
Guess that means I am bumping up the Trance on my "to acquire" list. Ironically, the Spyderco Dodo was also on my list, but I couldn't afford it at the time time before it went extinct.
