Microsoft will buy it.  You know they will - nobody is allowed to have
ay significant presence in the digital world without the Evil Empire
taking an interest.

They will migrate it to .Net, the number of servers will multiply a
hundredfold, performance will suck, and all contributions will be
licensed under the MSFDL, which is sort of like GFDL except with
Microsoft owning everything.
