Frankly, I don't think anything that earth shattering will occur, even 
if ipv6 takes over completely.

Undoubtably some techniques will work better, some about the same, and 
some won't work worth squat - they'll either evolve to work better, fade

It's not as if it hasn't happened before.  See much use of open relay 
DNSBLs anymore?  Thought not.
