Is there a vague notion of when the current (value stored on card)
Oyster system might end up being decommissioned?

Whenever it is, it'll be a big endeavour, what with all the great many
'old system' Oyster cards out in the wild (in bedrooms in Hong Kong,
down the back of sofas in Leytonstone, forgotten about in seldom-used
overcoats in Sheffield etc) which people will want to exchange or
cash-in for years to come.

What will eventually happen is that either TfL will say "tough, we gave
plenty of notice it was being decommissioned" or it'll be like old bank
notes - you can take them to the Bank of England - errm, sorry, to TfL's
head office - and exchange them there.
