Let's say that so far this is a non-issue for me: epub+ADE can be deDRM, so whatever I will keep buying now can still be set free

But in the hypothetical situation in which ADE DRM becomes un-crackable and there's no other format that can be deDRM, then the best compromise I would be able to accept at that point is to buy a format that - at least - is not linked to any specific brand. I hope we will never get to that point, though!
