Granted, I would guess (probably wrongly) that france will allow some export versions of the Rafale without most of the classified/highly advanced avionics and systems, especially to those countries with more unstable political backgrounds. Hopefully this will make it easier to replicate the rafale in the near future into DCS.
The second, and for me the more weighty reason: I would much prefer some focus going back to 60s-90s aircraft. For a variety of reasons, I think they fit the best for a DCS module, and I also personally am more interested in aircraft from this period. Recently most of the major module releases were of the modern variety: Hornet, JF-17, Viper, which caused de facto cancellation of an 80s upgraded F-4E which I was very, very anticipating. Razbam is working on an F-15E, which will probably be a 90s one, but still mostly continues this trend.
