At what date will the initial 18.4 million coins have all been mined?

Tail emission in Aeon
Tail emission in Monero is implemented in cryptonote_basic_impl.cpp, but I don't see it in Aeon's counterpart.
Will it be added to Aeon in the future?

Would having two separate proof of work algorithms for Monero be more secure?
Say 50% is CryptoNight and 50% is an ASIC friendly PoW, would this create more security? Maybe current miners would leave, creating less security? This might be an idea that would be better for the far future once Monero starts tail emission maybe?
