I'm not so sure. I think Canon will do
something at the 35mm focal length. Of course, that something might be an EF-S 35mm f/1.8 announced along side a 60D. But, given the way they've been marching through the shorter L primes with updates and new releases, I think an update to the 35L is a reasonable possibility.
Incidentally, the 135L (released in 1996) is only 2 years older than 35L (released in 1998). But, a 135L with IS would sure be a nice lens!
