For protocol development purposes the Winboard GUI will continue to exist. And
even without modifications people will continue to use it because of its
familiarity. Some that hate Winboard will love Arena and vice versa. So any
demise isn't imminent. However, I think that Arena will expand the number of
users for the simple fact that engine installation is much easier. That'll
benefit everyone IMHO. And like the Winboard 4.0.8+ (IIRC) by Mark Williams
(IIRC), which introduced a few graphical enhancements, some of the Arena
features might rub off on Winboard if they're deemed to be useful.
