Q1. Will the Limited Edition 2005 distro be split into several flavors, like 
Discovery and PowerPack? A download Edition (3CD available on public mirrors) 
will be released?

 A1. There will be only one version available through the Mandrakestore. Club 
members will have access to several different versions, and there will be a 
Download edition as before.

There will be one download free version per year, with additional material 
available to club members.

I don't have any insider info, but I was in the chat room when this was said.  
I got the impression that security updates etc will continue to be freely 
available.  New material, possibly including major updates, will be confined 
to club members.  That's only my impression, though.
