Unfortunately I can't wait for Pentax to decide if and when they will go mirror-less. I've loved my Pentax system since 1981, and am still using my K1000 occasionally, but life moves on and Pentax don't control mine.
I must agree that it seems as if DSLR future might be less rosy than many believe, not that it'll ever completely die, it'll probably just have a reduced market as time goes by.
With the new generation of photographers, growing up with smartphone cameras as their first experience in the field of photography, it will probably be much easier for them to progress to
mirror-less systems in future, which is also probably the reason for the continued growth as seen in mirror-less cameras currently.
MILC's will probably continue it's path the same way as computers did, including with lower prices in future, as more and more users adopt it.
What is more important for me, is not if and when the means to capture images changes, but the length of time on this world God grants me to enjoy the moments I have to do it.

Agreed
Although i have consciously made the decision to sell most of my DSLR bodies, and lenses, (keeping only my Kp with DA 18-135, 55-300 PLM, 1.4x Converter), i have not yet been able to physically bring myself to begin.
I now find the Kp 'kit', with backup from either Nikon Coolpix B500 or B700, to be all i need, and all i can carry.
It is so hard to part with my 35mm Film era FF lenses : FA (Silver) 28-90, 80-200, 100-300, 28-200, 80-320. They all perform, and look, great5 on my Kp (Silver Body) . . . . . . . . . .
But, unless my Son wants them for his K-1(ii) , , , , , , , ,
