Implementations can always get better, but I think the only categorical (if even that) improvement that will arise depends on careful program design/implementation; that is, reducing the scope and number of capabilities and providing semantic information on capability usage. Fil-C and CHERI do an admirable job of maximizing backwards compatibility and even allowing incremental improvements, but I think it's time that programmers bought into capabilities too.
