I don't think manufacturing EF lenses would slow down RF introductions.  They just need to make a commitment to RF introductions, which they have not.  There is still a huge market for EF lenses.

What I find more disturbing is that Canon has bailed on servicing EF lenses so quickly.  Perhaps this strategy better explains why they want to halt EF lens production asap.  One of the key reasons people buy the latest $5000 plus EF lenses is that they think they will be serviceable for five years or more.  Obviously this may not be the case, so effectively Canon is shooting themselves in the foot by suspending service.
