Hard to argue with that. But one can hope right?

Shoot, if I'm gonna hold out hope for something, it's hooking up with Jessica Alba.

For 7D2, new 100-400, decent 50.

The "decent 50" will likely be a reality very soon, in the form of a Canon 50 / 1.8 IS.  Hopefully that will be followed with an 85 / 1.8 IS and 135 / 2.8 IS.

In my opinion, an ideal (as opposed to "the" ideal) setup for FF and/or crop would be a 17 / 2 IS + 24 / 2 IS + 35 / 2 IS + 50 / 1.4 IS + 85 / 1.8 IS + 135 / 2.8 IS + 200 / 2.8 IS.  The 24 IS loses a stop from the ideal and the 50 IS loses 2/3 of a stop from the ideal -- neither of which would be deal-breakers (although the 24 / 2.8 IS does vignette more than it could, even stopped down).  A 17 / 2 IS, of course, is probably a silly thing to even mention, much less wish for -- f/2.8 will be the fastest for a 17mm prime).  On FF, you get a bit wider, on crop a bit longer.
