I don't think the future is ever really 'no irr'.
  * RPKI provides: "a cryptographically verifiable method to determine
authority to use ip number resources"
  * OriginValidation provides: "A route origin authorization
'database' for use eventually on BGP speakers"

IRR filters provide control over whom is provided reachability through
a particular peering/path.
(dale points this out as well, particularly the part about paths he points out)
