Wild speculation threads produce comedy gold, so lets have a thread about what we might see in the devlogs forty years from now:

Wax now affects beard flammability properly.
Thinking of solipsism no longer causes instant insanity.
Deviant dwarves no longer try to wear used loincloths of races smaller than themselves.
Fixed a crash bug when translating counting-based nursery rhymes to civilizations with different base number systems.
Fixed a world-gen crash from more than two protoplanets colliding at the same time.
Too short pieces of dental floss can still be used with speed penalty.
Serving boiled eggs with silver utensils causes disdain towards either the waiter or the cook depending on culinary knowledge.

Custom gases that precipitate below room temperature now do so properly in contact with nethercap.
Demon worshippers should no longer be able to convert the entire fort before finally deciding to unleash HFS. In addition, They will no longer be able to convert nobles.
The plague should now affect tamed gremlins.
It should no longer be possible to attack ports from across the sea without a military ship, no more civilian transports for you.
In other news, a new bug has surfaced where the effects of vitamin c don't wear out if you stop consuming it regularly. It will take a while to fix, so the next release will be delayed.

[Dsarker]

As Necro091 picked up, the atmosphere does not damage via heat friction correctly. This will be fixed by 0.51.

A bug has appeared in which necromancers who attempt to raise fossils will zombify all creatures descended from the extinct species.
Dwarves who drink booze from lead containers will now develop extra mental problems.

Religions will now successfully develop offshoots and react to them. The bug in which Nicene-style Councils cause mainstream religious leadership to endorse Satan worship has now been fixed.
Sufficiently narcissistic and power-hungry human monarchs will now have Versailles-style complexes constructed in an effort to cage their nobles.
A minor bug has been fixed: a misplaced bracket was causing authority figures to ban children's books and jail their authors in insane asylums, while violent erotic novels were being read in schools. These have successfully been reversed.
In other news, the buggy code that was causing legitimate shipping companies to destroy the economies of entire kingdoms has been fixed. Turns out it was calling variables from the code for pyramid schemes, he he he.

[Starver]

"Added a further 23,534 core aims to the project.  Version numbers have once again been reset accordingly.  Expect v0(f).02.010.59 by the end of the week (and this time without the inadvertent sentience and megalomania to the prototype multiplayer connectivity code, with apologies to all those still surviving in the unstable wastes of the former New Swiss Empire)."

[Adequate Swimmer]

Fixed a bug during worldgen that enabled orcas to develop a technological singularity way before other races even existed. This led to bizarre and hardly playable game worlds, depending on whether said orcas had already left the planet or were still lingering on.

Such worlds will be re-seeded.
