I hope that 2 years from now we have a site with a catalog worthy of the name "What.CD successor" as well as better technology. As many users know, some of the site's core software was aging, and efforts to create a replacement had stalled.
Frontend improvements are probably inevitable, but I don't see a move to something more decentralized as likely. As far as I'm aware, there's no precedent or clear plan for a large moderated filesharing site on Tor or I2P. This is the time when people are willing to try something new, and it just doesn't exist. That's probably okay, the private tracker model is flawed but hardly broken: WCD lasted for 9 years, apparently hosted in a commercial data center within arm's reach of US authorities.
