Adobe has already released a new DRM system. I believe that it is currently up to individual book sellers whether it is enabled or not. They have little incentive to do so given the customer support problems that would result from it. That could change if they are pushed into it by publishers.
If and when it happens it won't be the end of the world for DRM removal. It's likely that lack of necessity has resulted in no one seriously working on defeating it so far.
