There's no consensus. One camp believes generations will continue as before, the other one believes traditional generations are more or less dead. I'm in the latter camp.

That's seems to be what I'm hearing here in this thread, yeah. It really comes down to assumptions that people make for the business case for hardware manufacturers, where the maximum profits come from either:

1) continuing the "space race" and focusing on external factors, such as beating out other competition for power (former camp)

2) focusing on internal practices to make the whole process more lean (latter camp)

I can see credibility in either. It really depends on risk/profit analyses, at the end of the day. We don't really have enough information to confirm one or the other.
