Agreed, though flat design always ages better because once you've stripped things back to the fundamentals it's less likely that anything is 'of the moment'. Trends in gradients, 3D effects, fancy animations, etc. always come in and out in a matter of years and so you inevitably get left having to update every few years if you down that route. It's similar to the trap of choosing computer graphics that are 'cutting edge' - they'll no longer be so in two years time and yours will look outdated rather quickly. This was particularly the case in the 2000s among all the news broadcasters - Sky's 2008 graphics come to mind in particular.

The question being then which quite often is asked; are we going to see a tweak or is it staying exactly as it is?

There have been rumours on here saying yes and no.
