I don't think anyone here can promise you any given piece of software will last 15 years, but given GTK and Firefox use Cairo (gecko not widget-side only), OpenOffice.org is being converted to use it, and they're all massive codebases with huge install bases, I'd say the chances of cairo not being deployed on a current system, or going away in the next 5 years, are pretty slight. -- Nicolas Mailhot
