Another lens i'm surprised is still on the books is the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM as i thought that the EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM was it's replacement as well as having a more useful wide-end and better IS.

Yeah, but the 15-85 is much more expensive than the 17-85.

17-85 is already off the catalogue in Japan, by the way. But then again, Canon tends to discontinue older models more quickly in Japan than in other markets (we lost the 75-300 a while ago, for example).
