Nobody here has been prepared to say that they expect RFC 2047 encoding to
be around in 20 years time. 

I expect that in 20 years time there will still be a need to read old messages
that use both 2047 encoding and old charsets.

Sure, software may still be recognizing it as "obsolete syntax", but it
will not be in regular use for current messages.
