Where is the successor to the original EOS R?

Consider what’s missing from the R series

Apart from the R and RP, all the later R series are numbered which seems to set a trend. However the R and especially the RP - while remaining fine imaging devices in their own niches - are looking decidedly outdated especially in terms of AF and tracking. The RP has the distinction of being very compact for a FF body, and this is what’s missing from the updated R range. So my guess is that the R will not be replaced as such - but the RP will be replaced by a 30MP approx updated FF sensor in a similarly compact body, but with the Digic X and AF system from the newer bodies. And hopefully an improved EVF.  Let’s call it an EOS RC perhaps…would be a superb entry to the FF R series, or as a second/travel body. I would happily buy one.
