Not gonna happen, unfortunately. But hey, the RP will always offer better IQ, anyway, so when you change systems there will be that upshot 😆

Not always... It depends what are you shooting and what are you doing with your pics...

It will. Whether it matters to you is something else, but the superior technical quality of larger sensors is undeniable - especially with Canon, where the 35mm systems get the absolute best lenses, and those same lenses often produce lesser results on APS-C.

We have been telling this forum for months now: EF-M is a dead mount walking. It won't happen tomorrow, or next month, but its deprecation is coming, and if the RP is a huge success, it'll happen sooner than expected.

Do you think those who are shooting now with Mxx + 11-22mm or xxxxD + 10-18mm, are happily going to RP + EF or RF 16-35mm?

No, but they will jump for a better APS-C RF body with compact lenses. Especially once all development for EF-M is cut, and people start to panic.

I believe Dslrs + EF-s and EF-lenses will be discontinued in the future (I'm sure we won't see any new EF-s lens in the future). But M-cameras will stay as a small and affordable system for those, who don't want to buy bigger, heavier and more expensive FF/R-system.

No, they won't, because EF-M represents the worst of all worlds - a mount that is wholly incompatible with RF, that has a tiny market share penetration in comparison with EF and EF-S, that stems from the Powershot division, that has a truncated and limited system, and that has served to be a testbed for Canon to find out exactly what do customers want in an entry-level mirrorless camera. Armed with this knowledge, Canon can now replicate their same success with RF mount, and consolidate their offerings around a single mount.

I still don't see why Canon world develop a third APS-C system based on the RF mount when they optimised the M mount for APS-C. The superior technical quality of larger sensors is undeniable - especially with Canon and to dilute the top quality image of the RF mount cameras with an APS-C range doesn't make sense to me.  Birders and sports photographers might go for a top of the range RF mount successor to the 7D series but for everyone else the M series makes more sense.  I don't mind that my EF-M lenses won't mount on my EOS R because they won't cover the format. I have EF lenses too share between my Ms and my R.  Why add lenses to the RF mount which are incompatible with most of the camera?
