jIn a few decades the DSLR will die, but it's not something that we will see any time soon.

The very same person you cited, Thom Hogan, believes that mirrorless will outsell DSLRs by approximately the 2019-2020 timeframe.  Nobody wants to buy into dead mounts, so once the tipping point is reached, the rest of the transition will happen quickly.

That said Hogan also believes DSLRs will survive for a long time, perhaps decades, and I agree, but the lower end is where the volume is so as mirrorless takes over what used to be Rebel/D3400 territory, the market share for DSLRs will plummet.  The higher end will be mixed between mirrorless and DSLR.
