On what basis do you think that the ECDLP will be solved in polynomial time in a classical context?

I would expect we will more likely have an error-correcting quantum machine sooner than the aforementioned. Given the pace Google et al are making.

We already have a quantum approach to solved ECC over finite fields, Shor's.

I don't think it will. But having quantum computers able to crack 256-bit ECDLP in only 5 years seems even more far fetched.
