It's unlikely that 5e will ever have a single, clear, unified vision of where it wants to go in the same sense that 4e did. (The crowdsourcing will take care of that if nothing else does.) The developers are referring backward to previous editions for compatibility, not forward in new directions. I think the best we can hope for is commonality: new players who start with 5e will be able to play along with fans of former editions, provided the older fans are willing to play 5e with them; and groups of players of competing older editions will be able to compromise on 5e if they want to play together. The "new adventures" point is another good one. Sales will be better if all D&D players can use the material.</blockquote>
