It's true that bikes are a pretty sad story when it comes to standards. I think axles is going to settle down soon though. QR seems to be on the way out and standard TA for road with boost TA for mountain seems like the direction we are headed... (Disc brakes in particular are not a good match for QR)

Trek is already moving to SuperBoost on their trail bikes. This appears to be DH width, but retaining the 12mm/15mm axles (vs thicker used in DH). It's a mess. And really annoying for anybody who breaks parts a lot - while almost everything is still available in some form, the newest best stuff is often only available in the latest standards.
