Well, right now, the only way people are going to get an expansion past SoF is digital distribution, and I highly doubt it's going to change all of a sudden since it hasn't been updated since 2008. It's kind of a double-edged sword, because we're not going to get a box set (to our knowledge), but at the same time we'll never have anything past SoF if we don't look into alternate means of legally getting the client files.
Hell, EQ2Emulator works on steam, that's where I got this idea from. They support various versions, though, too.
The reason I think it never will change is because SOE uses the launchpad to patch the game to the live version after you download the files off of steam, and thus, unless they send a whole new client to the Steam Store for the hell of it (they haven't for ANY of their games, other than to re-release with new expansions/sets) it's probably not going to go away.
