Of course there would be.
You get a (great) gaming engine which you can adapt to your liking. The game was advertized with its high modability, the game basically lives from/for it.
So I think in the future those features might get rewritten so you can modify them, too.
(The reason I partially dislike scripting for a not open source program - you have to wait for the developers to implement what you need first. But of course scriptability itself is a very good thing.)
