I think the next Penguin will be somewhat of a mutation of the previous one.
It's gone too long – I think they either got it wrong, or found too many issues, or missed their primary mark.
(It's not like all the link networks are gone, nor did it hit a lot of the smaller mutual-networds/site farms etc.)

The question is – what will it be if it is different?
Will they go after source-based patterns (such as comments or social posts or directory based etc.),
or will they look to quality-based patterns (too many links from established shitty sites),
or would they look at blatant link-chains/networks … or something else?

That would help prevent abuse, but would potentially miss long-standing abusers.

NSEO becomes more feasible every time they run it.
