Unless forced by Government Fiat it will never happen. What will happen
is that the useful metric sizes will be adopted, and older measures will
be used where appropriate. The real proof that the United States is
more democratic than most other countries is that our government can't
make such changes by the stroke of a pen.

Only North America still uses non-ISO paper sizes.
It will take decades to change the standards for paper sizing in the
USA. There's too much invested in machinery and such that is based on
8.5x11 and 8.5x14 legal size paper.
A3 and A3 Super are common now, however.
