Marc, I really cant really ever see  them  becoming acceptable..( at least for me)  but then Im probably a lot  more cynical  about the reasons behind their introduction than you are.
The EMF implications in particular  alarm me , especially the idea of dirty electricity being dumped into house wiring systems- things are bad enough as it is , once the ban is enforced we will have no other alternatives , and definitely no choice..( except for candles and kerosene). I cant imagine  the radio frequencies  will be addressed  in any seriousness  given  the selective deafness  governments have  already employed in coming to terms  with wi-fi, cell phones, masts and all the other accumulated nasties.

Yes, hoarding is good... probably you can also find online sources
for "long life" incandescent bulbs (5000 hours? 20000 hours?).
Also, once the ban begins, I suppose you can import them from
other countries (assuming the bulbs are compatible).

Eventually LED bulbs should be inexpensive and acceptable. But
not at the moment...
