I'm not sure I agree.  I think Canon won't come out with an IS version of the 400mm f/5.6L because the mk2 100-400 basically takes its place.  The image quality is there with the zoom plus the IS...  With the price of the 100-400 coming down I would guess you would save very little money by going to the prime.  The only benefit of the prime would be lighter weight.   I just don't see the need.
