Dr, you can't believe anything you read on CR.

Here is what my sources are telling me;

The 7D II when released will have a full frame sensor as a pro-summer model. The reason cameras had the crop sensor all along is because of the slow processing power of processors, and the amount of data required to get a reasonable pixel count. With the new faster processors and technology, crop sensors are just not required now to get the performance and IQ that the camera companies were looking for. The 7D II will have a full frame sensor, and in the future the full frame sensor will trickle down to the consumer models.

Remember you heard it hear first, now someone will pick this information and put it on CR and the whole world will know the truth.
