My experience on the smaller diameter courses:
As gut ages it goes sharp on the upper frets.
As Nylgut ages it goes flat on the upper frets though I only notice
this on the smaller diameter (chanterelle & 4th 8ve) strings.
At different rates, of course.

Nylgut doesn't stop strechting.
Nylon does strech a bit (remember those guitar strings that always
need to be tuned up?).
Carbon does not strech.
Gut hardly streches, it just breaks. ;-)
My 2 eurocents of experience.
