Comment(by lutra):

 But Erdas is not releasing a new version of the ecw sdk as stated here?

 http://www.erdas.com/Products/ERDASDownloads/tabid/192/currentid/3578/objectid/3578/default.aspx

 I believe that without ecw support many people will not be happy, after
 all most of the new/potential QGIS/GRASS users ask immediately "do the
 program supports ecw rasters?". I know, it is sad.
