I think if carbon brakes can deliver the low dust, long life, and high performance they promise, steel brake rotors may eventually go the way of the buggy whip also.

If you believe any of this, I have a bridge for sale in NY you might like to buy. Maybe in 20 years or longer on CF wheels, but by then everyone (meaning the aftermarket mfgs) would need to be making/selling CF wheels. Forged Al and Mg wheels have been around for decades and they still remain relatively low volume/expensive items. Also, I think you mean cast iron rotors, not steel, and they will probably still be around for a long time due to cost.
