we can't wait another year or even two (1 patch every year), because I'm not sure how many people are willing to start playing FF in 2012 considering the graphics and low amount of active players/community then.
perhaps we are lucky and 2.5 is the update we have been waiting for a long time and it will decrease the game's flaws so it will be ready for steamworks.

I can see both sides, but I think the reasoning is that it's more comatose than dead right now. Steamworks means there's a possibility of it flopping around again and probably represents the last big chance to draw in new players. So the risk isn't to the mod in its current state, it's to its future state.
