Putting the SG rulebooks online is a handy way for GW not to have to bother doing anything much to push the specialist games themselves, rather relying on the gaming communities - such as the large, highly active and growing Epic online community which contributed - and contributes still - so much to the new generation of Epic, and now that SG will be subsumed into the Studio these groups will have to get used to even less from GW...
Anyway, BFG. Work abounds on version 2.0 (there MAY be changes to the gunnery rules, following the transformation firepower in Epic made from E40K to EpicA) and hopefully the end of SG as a separate entity won't see it stillborn....
I play Eldar, Necrons, Demiurg and Tau in BFG, and I am quite a fan of the game! Sadly my old gaming group has vanished in the year I was away in Canada, so I may end up having as much luck finding opponents here as I do for Federation and Empire...
