By 'completely replace' I hope you mean 'become the default, but still be
able to live alongside'.  One of the things I've been hoping we end up with
is a more (wait for it...) modular drawing system.  It would be great to be
able to switch between graphics systems and/or have a worlds-like
environment where the top level could be one drawing system and one of the
children another.  Just think how much easier your new Morphic would have
been to develop (and would be to debug/enhance going forward) if you had
that as a starting point.  And then there are the low power/low capability
devices that don't even have full JIT support yet, let alone OpenCL capable
hardware. (lots of ARM stuff and some old/low-end PCs fall into this
category)
