I am well aware that my prediction is wishful. I am also aware that manufacturers monitor, on some level, forums and YouTube comments. If all of the comments amount to "electronic shifting is the inevitable, universal, and desirable future" that's what will happen. The chance is slim that the groupset that I want will be available by the time I get my next bike, but I can increase the ever-so-infinitesimal chance that it will be available by the time I get another bike or groupset after that.
