Will this new album be the last material we ever get from Tool?

Following the release of material they are working on... I'm thinking it's a crapshoot. I'll be happy either way. One possibility to consider is that they may make two releases out of their current material. Last we heard they had 5 songs they found worthy enough and then one "in the can" after that - (Not sure if I have that chronological order entirely right). Given how varied the tone and energy was on 10,000 Days, they may have even more varied material to delineate into two releases that emphasize different aspects of their craft. One sounding like their having fun (like Rosetta Stoned, Jambi, The Pot). And one where they seem like they're taking it seriously (like Wings, Right in Two).

As far as age, Danny's fitness is the one true worry spot... naturally. Though you can still see videos of Billy Cobham, Bill Bruford, and Carl Palmer just ripping it in their old age. Danny's a monster and seems to be doing a good job in maintaining himself. I met him a few years ago and he was coming out of his friend's house whose gym he uses. The guy looked solid for 50s.
