I don't think it will die for quite some time, but Linux distributions will eventually all switch to Wayland as support grows.

Xorg will survive for a long time. X is still part of many BSD flavors, other UNIX variants, and academic institutions still use it. The project will continue to be maintained for years as some die-hard contributors stay aboard.
