This is one case where I seriously doubt that 26 inch tires will go away or become obsolete.
For one thing there are bike sizes out there including obviously the LHT where 29er or 700cc wheels just do not do right for the frame below a certain size. Unless people under 5-10 are outlawed I just see no way 26 inch wheels wheel not be around essentially forever.
