I've often wondered whether the conflict would become more three-sided (Hard-core Cylons, Hard-core Humans, and a small group of both working together in opposition to the other who only want war) and that knowledge may be the key to get them there. Without it, I don't think there's any hope of anything either than one side or other other's extermination.
Given the tremendous military and resource advantage the Cylons have over the humans, I think there will have to be some kind of rapprochement, because if the Cylons are really set on wiping out the RTF, they'll get it done eventually.
Something will have to change radically on both sides for any such rapprochement to make sense, though. I mean, after the New Caprica occupation, your average Colonial is going to be pretty distrusting of any future olive branch.
