Given the offerings from Sony and Nikon, and the price difference between the RP and R6, an R "replacement" will likely occur. It would seem to be more a matter of when.

Another approach would be a single R/RP replacement priced near the R7 level. But that would leave no FF at an "entry" price point, where the RP currently sells well.

This is what I think will happen. Now that APS-C has come to the R system Canon won't be selling a sub $1k FF camera. The R will be priced near the top end APS-C camera and become the entry level FF body. The RP was how Canon offered a low cost entry point into the R system since they had no APS-C cameras to fill this roll.  I won't be surprised if this camera gets an R8 or R9 designation.
