In terms of the wheel-brake interface, sure. In terms of the brake-frame interface, that's been pretty fluid. There's direct-mount. Except SRAM doesn't have one yet.

Then there's increasing use of completely proprietary rim brakes. I could probably list off a dozen or more. Venge ViAS. Madone 9.9. Speed Concept. Etc.

There's one thing on my list for a TT bike that falls below disc brakes: proprietary rim brakes. After my last two TT bikes having them, I'm done. Well I may not have a choice for the rear brake if I want a high-end bike, but I can still at least get a standard front brake on a really good frame.
