Unlikely...

A lot of the complexity is baked into the WS standards of which WCF is only an implementation. So until new standards are rolled out there is a limit to how much clean up can happen.

Then the other thing is the fundamental concept of WCF requires a lot of inherent complexity.

There is still a good amount of complex for complex's sake that could be cleaned up so hopefully that happens.

But its been said WCF is pretty much dead so not sure how much effort will go into it.

A lot of places out there have some very large numbers of WCF endpoints doing production work. I'm not sure how dead it really is.

I know REST/JSON is the new hotness, but there is a bunch of that stuff out there.
