But what happens after say 10 years, when hopefully all material is HD and we do not need to support legacy stuff. But still 50Hz HDTV system is used because of "legacy". I think that current 576i DVB is going to die within a few years.

I don't. The high compression used in DVB-T, giving rise to some obvious compression artefacts, and the use by some channels of 544x576, tells me that they're just going to continue to try to cram in as much as possible into as little space as possible, at least for now.

If you think DVB-T's bad, have you seen Sky?
