if they make RF-s glass on par with EF-s glass - I'm out.

I think you’re in luck, because it looks like they’re porting over the EF-M lenses (just with new RF bases).

they look like they are cheapening the discontinued 55-250 stm to make it darker than f5.6

f/5.6 at 250 mm is one of the better features

I'll believe an RF-s 32 when I see it

If they give us M quality glass - I'll buy R7 because it would be the m5III I always wanted with m quality glass

Don’t know how many of those lenses they’ll give us though. Depends on how much they want to protect their higher end sales (we EF-M owners certainly know how Canon likes to maintain product line segmentation!! ).

As far as bodies go, the R7 will definitely be more capable than the M6ii, but it’s also in an entirely different size class. I plan to “permanently” mount my RF 100mm Macro to it (it should be a perfect fit for that ).

my m32 is almost permanently mounted on my m6II

I'll be interested to see how your 100-500 performs on R7 - that is the setup I'd expect to pay dividends

Best of luck with your own quest!

I don't hold my breath - speed of AF is for sports and wildlife which would be nice, but I'm more about still life these days and don't want to spend the big bucks on tele L's
