Sometime in the next 30 years?  Extremely likely.  Before the
following release?  Something would have to cross a really high bar to
change again right on the heels of a change...

For me, I don't see it.  The landscape of build systems isn't much
different than it was ~3 years ago when the cmake build was
implemented, so the analysis isn't much different.  The biggest change
I've seen is meson coming out a bit (there's some push to move some
parts of X.org over, frex).  But that calls for python 3 and only does
ninja, so that's even further out than cmake in a lot of ways.


'course, if you really just want ./configure, that's easy   :)
