well, considering the person, and resource responsible for generating the scenery is gone, I'd say it'll be a while. And it won't be scenery 3.0, as the biggest feature (LOD) is still a long way off. We'll see if we can create a distributed build environment, or find some server time somewhere. The full planet took about 6 weeks to complete on our previous server.
I am also unsure about the status of the landclass data. Although Corrine and the NCLD data are public domain, Martin had invested a lot of time and effort to massage this into useful scenery. I had a look at the OSM derived data, and for the US and Europe at least, our previous data was much nicer.
I'm still developing terragear to be more robust ( with data I had pulled off of mapserver years back ). But I imagine, I may need to shift gears to come up with a more distributed method of building the world
