would have thought the R and RP just become obsolete and we have R1,R3,R5,R6,R7,R10 for the foreseeable future

I won't be shocked if this happens. As time passes it seems Canon is following much of the same strategy in the R system as they did in the EF system. This would mean no FF cameras priced under the top APS-C model. I can see their bottom R FF camera just being a smidge above the R7. Also, it looks like the R7 is the only APS-C camera to get an Rx designation. The all other APS-C cameras will be Rxx or Rxxx.

they'll not make a fast focus R replacement for $1700 with 30 mpxl when they have a 20 mpxl $2500 R6

They will if there is an R replacement. It should have the same AF as the R10 at a minimum. There are times where some lower priced models get more advanced features than high priced ones just because of the timing of when each camera is released. It will be interesting to see what Canon does when updating the R6.

the R6 will drop down to $1999

they'll not replace the R
