At the risk of sounding dramatic, if it came down to a choice of only having Canon brand lenses available for my camera or not having Canon cameras available to buy, obviously I'd choose the former. To put it another way, if the camera division doesn't make enough money, it will go away. If blocking third party AF lenses is what it takes, that is an acceptable price, to me.

I hope not, but perhaps this is really where we stand at this point.

the more time goes the bigger the gap will be between current and SLR glass, both in unique offerings as well as performance.

How?  When EF glass works seamlessly - and many EF lenses are already close to perfection optically and AF very well?

It would take some sort of transformation functionality of a new camera requiring new lenses to really make a big difference
