Maybe Canon now has the "horses" in place to do just that?

That is what I thought over a year ago, then Canon released an 18mp 1D X instead of the rumored 36mp 1Ds IV. I would make no bets on Canon’s marketing strategy.

Since the market life of these lenses is 8 to 10 years they do have to design these things for what we may have years in to the future.
