Christopher Tolkien is now 90 years old, so I guess they needed to find a new editor

So anyway those who really appreciate Tolkien may expect a new treat every few years?

That's certainly been the case since the late 1970s, when Christopher Tolkien edited and published "The Silmarillion". How much now remains to be published, I don't know. Most of what J.R.R. wrote was left in a fragmentary state.
