There is really no need to have dedicated APS-C glass on RF mount if all the bodies are going to have IBIS, Canon has the opportunity to assume they can use all the space of a 35mm sensor for stabilization.

Being limited to ancient tourist zoom glass for a basic kit is going to be a real setback for crop RF. It just doesn't make sense. They will hastily slap together a crappy kit lens, likely just a cheap EF-S or EF-M lens with a built in adapter.

I don't see Canon going to all the trouble of bringing out APS-C cameras in the R system and then not properly supporting them with native lenses.  They will likely be a mix of FF and a few APS-C specific ones.  For a 7D replacement I don't think it needs much in the way of crop lenses.  Where I think RF-S variants shows up is if a budget friendly Rebel type line is introduced.  These are the cameras that will need smaller, lighter weight lenses.
