I am hopeful we'll have a "miSTress" or some similar such name as followup to miST/miSTer.
To adopt a cheaper, more modern, and more powerful FPGA ecosystem that's actually supported by the yosys/nextpnr open stack. And, while at it, the control plane CPU would be standard RISC-V instead of legacy ISA (currently ARM).
Something like Lattice ECP5 or GOWIN's GW2N.
On that, Sipeed recently announced a cheap 135K LUT devboard[0] based on GW2N. Apparently, a version with ~500k LUT is in the works.
