Probably pretty soon, no? Ars had an article entitled: "Google’s product strategy: Make two of everything". The claim was that Google builds multiple versions of its products targeted to slightly different market segments and use cases to hedge their investment. I think this is the perfect example (i.e. the fact that Google didn't just upgrade Picasa Web and built Google Photos instead). Given that Google Photos is most likely to succeed, it's just a matter of time before they shut down Picasa Web.
