Civ2 had 2 of 'em, Civ 3 had 2 of 'em, you know Civ 4 will have 2 of 'em. Maybe they'll also do something a little akin to Test of Time.
What sort of expansions? Possible sorts I can think of:
Civ Library. At least 19 more civs in each of one or two volumes. If they can't do that many leaderheads, give us a tool to do leaderheads for ourselves
Scenario Library. Preferably at least 40 scenarios per volume. Include historical, mythological, fantasy, alternate history, and future (including interstellar and alien worlds), but 80% historical. I hope it would be reasonable to expect 40 Firaxis-designed ones per volume, and it would be cool to have 100 or so fanmade ones in one volume too.
Superscenarios. Maybe 10 per volume. like Conquests. Include 50 or so fanmade regular scenarios in at least one of these.
Simplified Editors. (one expansion)
New options for main game models, like religion, science, combat, etc. (probably one expansion)
Or something much better than anything little old me can think of.
Or some hybrid: Civs plus Scenarios: preferably 19 civs per volume plus 40 scenarios per volume. Can inlude one or two special editors and/ or one or two main model swapouts.
Or first expansion could be 30 new civs, and second could be 40 Firaxis- made scenarios plus 100 fanmade ones.
And of course there should be plenty of new civs added for any scenarios in any of the above anyway, which had better be playable in the main game.
Thoughts?

Preferably, of course, the leaderheads would be gone, at least animated ones. But I don't think that will happen.
By Simplified editors I mean something simpler than the raw scripting.
I guess I want approximately 19 added because I want the number approximately doubled. One thing I know is 19 isn't enough for me because that is s ure to leave out ones I want. Approximately 40 would ensure some new ones, and approximately 60 would probably include some new ones I'd be interested in. And I think it does make sense to simply know how many choices I want regardless of which ones they are.
I'm pretty sure the original release will be great. hopefully it won't have any bugs. I know it won't be all it can be though, and I'm sure there will be expansions, and I think we do know enough about the original release to say something about expansions. It's true though that the editor may or may not help a lot, but I still like the pros to do more work for me.

In "The Sims" it's possible to make new faces for your sims. If you want your sims to look like Cindy Crawford / Brad Pitt, no problem. Making them looks a bit funny, but it seems to work...

Units in Civ should be able to be built like characters in The Sims, but it should be simpler because the units aren't as big.
Basically for leaderheads you start with a facial shape. You make the face what color you want. Add facial hair as desired. Maybe ears and maybe noses could be chosen independantly of the basic facial shape. Choose hair color, hair length, hair style, and headware. Could add tattoos if desired, maybe scars. Eye color I wouldn't bother with.
Expansion pack civs are ones that some people wanted but most people didn't care much about, including the designers.

I think I'll wait until the main game is released before I contemplate an add on pack. Not a big fan of those in the first place really, if its that important it has to be added to one of them, it should have been in the game in the first place!
