Spring of 2021! That makes the most sense and would fit their timeline of when they make releases. Now, what do I think they will produce first?

they are just going to take their L and FE mount lenses and adapt them to the RF mount by changing the firmware. They'll do the same sooner or later for the Z mount too.

if we're lucky they may add the ability to use a control ring.

It might be the control ring giving sigma pause. With the extra ring, they would need to give canon lenses extra features on top of a significant body rebuild... or go no extra and run into longer term issues. There is some philosophy behind this. If I were building a disposable lens like Samyang, I would not care, but sigma has service they can provide and back their products.
