You may see the current crop of DSLRs disappear years from now. But
you definitely won't see them replaced with P&S. Not if any serious

convergance, which you're already seeing. DSLRs that have live-view,
HD video recording, etc. Things that were first introduced in P&S and
can be applied to a DSLR. Hell, you may even see electronic shutters
although those compromise image quality so maybe not.

You may see options for it, just like you can shoose live view and
contrast detection focusing or the optical viewfinder and phase
detection focusing.

But if they can
figure out how to do them without compromising image quality, then why
not?

That's the big issue. D-SLR owners are less willing to compromise on
image quality, which is inherent in electronic shutters.
