Never say "never"...
Here's a brand new WS-C2950 for $1108. Why would the new 24*Gb + 10Gb
uplink switches not be similarly priced in 3 or 4 years? It's possible the
manufacturing of XENPAK optics is an order of magnitude more
difficult... but I think there will be adequate competition in the
marketplace soon enough.
