MODERATORS
I do expect to see the dungeon masters guide changed substantially. We've heard tales that the product was rushed and designed alongside the players handbook with priority on the latter. In addition it is filled with much fewer rules that would cause chaos to change; It doesn't matter if they change encounter rules to match modern guidance or if magic items aren't right in the middle of if the guidance on setting building changes.
The PHB revision has written itself into a corner by their design goals clearly changing during production to keep the 2014 edition totally compatible instead of adaptable, the other products already are not beholden to that ethos because there is less comparability overall.
