It'll happen -- once the package includes an inclinometer, torque sensor, and a saddle load sensor (to detect riding out of the saddle) in addition to the cadence and speed sensors used thus far, it'll work well. That is, unless a quantum leap happens and CVTs become light enough to compete with derailleur systems.
