Is Epic doing anything to address UE4's crippling shader problem?

The whole reason I want forward rendering is to use custom shaders with colored shadows on different objects, and blend static and movable shadows. Seems like they mostly added forward rendering for the anti-aliasing.

Forward rendering was added for VR performance. Colored shadows is very easy to do with modifying MobileBasePassPixelShader.usf if you use forward shading.
