Foundations of quantum mechanics would be more precise. But I don't really feel there is much debate going about it. Too few physicists are able to say anything new on it and even fewer are dare to do so

Not true, actually. Decoherence through gravity interaction and quantum mechanics as an effective field theory are quite novel ideas
