Next big disturbance will probably be a jump from wheezy to stretch on all the PC based machines. Since the pi is running fairly well on jessie, and its much harder to change, it will probably stay on jessie at least till both jessie is out of support AND the next version has at least a preempt-rt kernel. Unfortunately, neither of the CC sized boards uses grub to boot, so its 20x harder to install a new kernel just to test it.
