Not to stir things up too much, I'm of the opinion that HLSL as a stand alone Direct X9.0c construct will not be around too much longer. Shackling the project to an old/outdated DirectX verison when a much more compatible BGFX shader chain for HLSL is available will likely be the near term future for it all and allowing many OS's access to such features - not just Windows. The less we have unique to any particular OS in the end means more coherent function and execution for everyone. This is information as I understand it and AFAIK there has been no discussion to speak against it.
Personally, I don't have much interest either way for HLSL. I care much, much more for accurate emulation of the game itself, not added effects.
