I do. It'd take a major engine rewrite, and there is already Source 2 on the way anyway, so what's the point?
If you dont believe me, grep the alienswarm code for "Source 2". They mention it a couple of times regarding how they've taken code from Source 2 and put it into the Swarm code. Source 2 will be multithreaded, and Episode 3 will be the first game to use it.
