Future
Some natively centralized systems are starting to grow distributed features. For example, Subversion is able to do many operations with no network. It may become more difficult to separate natively distributed vs centralized systems.
There are many tools that rely on version control, such as wikis, file systems, and text editors. Some are starting to adopt DVCS features, and even integrate with them, for example the Gazest wiki, ikiwiki.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
