effects of Update 5 on crafting research?

jpsmithub17_ESO1
I still have characters doing the original 8 trait research as I have not seen much point in rushing. (Song of Lamae was fine for my purposes which was easily achieved a long time ago.) I am wondering if research will continue to be part of crafting after Update 5, or if 1 month long research items are unlikely to get completed if started now. Will Update 5 interrupt ongoing research, or remove researching of traits from the crafting professions?

    Why wouldn't it continue?

    They don't want you to respec and remove your skill points from research.

    If anything, as a nerf, they are looking for more ways to force you to sink skill points into crafting for it to be useful. They might make a rank 5 passive that adds a fourth research slot and caps research at 20 days.

    Another nerf is to add one new trait with Group Only content chase every 2-3 months which ensures that you always "have a reason" to keep points in it, and are forced to play the content to be a crafter, even if you don't like the content.
