P2 longevity question

Although I have an HPX500, I'm posting this question here because the HVX users have the longest experience with P2 cards...

I am relatively new to these cards, although I've been shooting almost daily for 8 months with six 16g cards, having shot well over 120 hours of footage. I do try to rotate my cards regularly, but inevitably the #1 card gets the most use...

What is the realistic life expectancy of these things? I realize that may be difficult to predict, especially with the new 16 and 32s, but I haven't been able to find any specs relative to life expectancy...
 
being solid state, I can't see them giving up anytime soon, they should last a VERY VERY LONG time before something happens to 'em.

Thanks for the responses - I'd actually never thought about until last week when I was shooting a commercial for a college and my assistant cameraman asked me.. he tried to look it up on his laptop during lunch but couldn't find the answer...
