Software is changing and software evolution is going to change with it. In considering software and the problems of software evolution today we make the tacit assumption that we control the software and hence can control its evolution. Current trends point to a world where we only control a small fraction of our own software and the remainder evolves in unpredictable and uncontrolled ways. Current work in addressing evolution is addressing yesterday?s problems. What we need to prepare ourselves for the coming problems are techniques that can cope with uncontrolled evolution. In this position paper we point out several of the problems that need to be addressed and hint at possible techniques for addressing them.
