I don't think it'd be out of style for them to come out one day and say "Here's ActivityPub 2, it isn't compatible in any meaningful way with ActivityPub 1 which we're dropping now, so Migrate or Die" and I wouldn't really shed a tear if every Mastodon instance dissapeared from the timeline tomorrow, but in a sense I feel like it goes both ways: trying to "fix" an existing protocol is usually a fools errand, while if someone makes it worse but still compatible you can just ignore the junk. But if a protocol is suboptimal enough that a whole class of engineering problems have to be focused on the protocol itself instead of the engines that send it around, working from a clean slate isn't so bad.
