"technology world moves fast [...] currently URL scheme will conflict directly with its needs or not"

That is your mistake. The URI should be decoupled from the technology you are using. The URI is part of the content and not of the software behind the site.

Amen. A thousand times, amen.

If your stack requires tight coupling with URL structure, you have doomed yourself already.

And if you do not decouple them, users will be more likely to use 3rd party services to effect the decoupling.
