Canon needs to step up with some more primes for the m - or I'll join the chorus - the m mount will be dead

This is the double edged sword; the M is great for what it is. And, Canon is their own worst enemy. They will in all likelihood, not produce the measure of lens lineup as say Fuji. But, Sigma will For most people that'll do the job.

well, I had the original d30 for $2000. I got a sigma 70-200 f2.8 that performed great on the d30 but was hosed on the 10d

I bought a tokina 10-17 that performs great on my 7d2 but is hosed on my T7i

I test my lenses when I receive them

The issue I always worry about is the monkey wrench thrown in on 3rd party with the next iteration of camera body

Actually this is not a third party lenses problem, but a Canon camera problem. The longer i think of it, the more i am getting convinced i have to jump ship because of this most important reason. As long as your lenses are EF-s mount you can adapt, but as soon as you have them in M-mount there is a risk it will be unusable with future bodies.

I anticipate the other mfg's will start throwing in monkey wrenches on third party lenses

Canon has been the worst imo, but not to say others will do it more in the future  to protect their own glass

sony wants to sell their FF but their aps-c is getting very good so how do they prevent cannibalization going forward?

a switch could cost users dearly

I'm hooked on canon colors, canon dpp, last version of LR standalone, canon 35 f2 IS, canon 100L, Canon FF 6d for $899.  It will be hard for me to get away from these value propositions
