At some point, the manufacture of mags will become "economically
unfeasable".  Then there will need to be some change made.  The other
way might be an end run around the regs by claiming the electronic
ignition a form of magneto...  In any event, it would still take a
good company to do it.  Both in terms of getting the @#$%^ paperwork
done, and getting the actual hardware to the point where folks had
faith in it.  I have no hesitation on messing with the mechanicals
of something that never (well, almost never ) leaves the ground.
But an aircraft is a whole 'nuther matter.
