I'm not so certain. Edition war threads tend to flare up when various companies make announcements (I'd say the last bunch was precipitated by WoTC pulling PDFs, WoTC's announcements of DDI exclusive content, and recent, seemingly opposed 3PP declarations). Given the historical trends, I would think that Gencon and Pathfinder's release will cause a huge dust-up, maybe the worst since the 4e release, and given Sigil's prominence in the DMGII, I expect that we'll also see some smaller scale fights between fans of the various cosmologies.
