"What are the chances we ever(10 - 20 years) have one class of shares?"

Ravi Nagarajan has calculated the economic interest and voting interest of A-shares in total, as well as the A-shares owned by Buffett and the A-shares owned by the Berkshire board (including Buffett) back to 1996 when the B-shares were first issued.

The economic interest of A-shares has decreased considerably, but because the A-shares have 1500 times the economic interest of B-shares but 10,000 times the voting interest, the voting interest of the A-shares has changed little.

See Ravi's article for historical graphs.
