I suspect that the move to APFS for Time Machine will be tagged as "Time Machine 2" or something like that, as I expect it will be quite unlike the current version. For one, I would expect that it would be continuously backing up snapshots and versions instead of the current hourly method, and that when finding a file to restore you will be able to see all the various versions instead of the current "see all files at this timestamp". If Time Machine wasn't such a good name, I might even expect them to rename it entirely. -- Oh! I thought they smelled bad on the *outside*!
