Great article!
Here is what I see:
\- Superboost will go away.
\- Short chainstays on 29ers will go away, but not necessarily on Mullets and size small bikes. But from personal experience, short chainstays are terrible on a size L or XL 29er.
\- For an aggressive bike, Mullet is absolutely the correct choice for a size Medium bike.
\- Brakes absolutely need to get stronger, but I really don't think this requires a 223mm front rotor to do so.
\- DC forks aren't happening and this was the one kick I was really on. The Mezzer & the Era Forks simply make them not neccessary. The EXT SC appears to me more rigid than the MORC DC for instance.
Let's talk gears though. A light weight, better clearance wide ratio 9-48 11 speed AXS/ Hyperglide sure would be helpful.
