It's possible that in a few years, the LCD monitors will have a higher
resolution so that larger font sizes (in pixels) will be used for typical
screen presentation. More pixels -- less elaborate hinting required.

I don't think hinting will completely go away, but I'm sure the necessity to
tweak single pixels will gradually disappear.
