My initial thought was "SVN changes?", as a post about its "future" wouldn't likely be about how it plans to stagnate and die, unless it were being abandoned (also unlikely).
While showing that I haven't used it much and don't know its history well at all, it does reveal a fair amount of how they're perceived; I'm hardly a rarity in this. It's hard to make large / "real" changes to anything like this without effectively making something new (massively breaking changes, for example. ie, anything related to workflow). SVN is largely doomed, methinks.
That is exactly what it has done, and it now finds itself in pretty much exactly the situation CVS was in 10 years ago.
That's quite an achievement, but it doesn't exactly suggest an exciting future ahead for Subversion.
