I'm skeptical that a new format like this can get enough market share to overcome worries that it will quickly become obsolete.
The soundest archiving strategy is to make multiple copies of everything and copy them onto the new generation of media as the old one starts to fade out.

I have a commercial music CD that I bought in ‘87 (Tijuana Brass,IIRC) that still plays perfectly.I have data and music CD-Rs that are 15 years old that have preserved their data perfectly.Pretty amazing,IMO.
