Honestly, this is just out of curiosity, but I was wondering if you think it would make sense for Canon to abandon the M-mount and have just one mount for their 'full frame' and APS-C mirrorless systems. It may hurt immediately but arguably could be better in the long-run.

Why would it be better in the long run? The RF mount would mean bigger lensew and a significant source of the appeal of the M is its size.

Feel free to comment on thoughts too.

So, do you think Canon should expand the RF-mount to include APS-C bodies and lenses?

Most people think this is good or bad depending on what they want. Canon would need to do a survey of APS-C users to determine how many want the bigger lenses and smaller sensor. My guess is that it would be a few that want the extra "reach", but the majority of APS-C users want smaller cameras, don't care or don't know the difference.

Yes and no...

Generally speaking FF lenses are of better design/performance than their APS-C counter parts.

Not sure that's true. A good APS-C lens needs to resolve better than its FF equivalent (and does in many cases). Look at the Sigma 1.4 trio for E-Mount and in particular the 56mm.
