The internal structure on an ESRI Enterprise Geodatabase, what once was
ArcSDE, is not going to change. So the way versioning, archiving and
editing tracking is performed will be the same, or at least is the same at
release 10.3
I have a main customer that is going trough the migration stage and we are
looking at the best path.
>From a GeoServer point of view, to remain in topic and to discuss about
what is more interesting for GeoServer's users and developers, what ESRI is
dismissing are the possibility of native connection, that is having a
custom service that accept proprietary connection from client, and the
ArcSDE SDK.
These have huge impact on the ArcSDE plugin, indeed it is built against the
jar included in the SDK so if in the future you have to avoid upgrading
your Geodatabase to 10.3 and following or you have to use an old, and
unsupproted, SDK release against a 10.3+ Geodatabase.
As for the native versus direct connection I have not a great experience of
using GeoServer with ArcSDE, unfortunately customers paying big bucks for
ArcGIS for Server are not so keen to use GeoServer for publishing their
data. Anyway in the few occasions I have always have to use the native
connection because direct connection didn't work for me.
With regard to timing I have to say, altough I am not too keen to defend
ESRI usually :) , that ArcSDE was on the way of being deprecated since
release 9.2, when ESRI stopped to distribute it as a stand alone package
and included it in ArcGIS for Server, the GeoServer similar product made by
them. Every customer or developer knows since then, some years ago, that
ArcSDE was going to be dismissed. But human being are probably more keen to
be retroactive than proactive :-D
