Nope, unless Sony does something about it.

I think you are confused.
PS3 slim has no backwards compatibility at all.
Early PS3 units had the PS2's Graphics Syntesizer and Emotion Engine built into the hardware, so emulation was 100%. Updates allowed the PS3 to do upscaling and progressive scan on PS2 games.
Later PS3s (fat ones before slim) had PS2 components removed from their boards. PS2 emulation was done in software. My friend has one of these, emulation is pretty good.
And yes, when Sony announced it was cutting PS2 emulation, people did rush out to buy them before they went out of stock. My friend was one of them =P.
