So it's not very likely we will see third party AF lenses within the next five years or so.

Well, you're welcome to be cynical and unhappy about anything and everything, but to me, the public admission from Canon that they've authorized a third-party RF lens sounds like a big step forward from before.

Allowing using the RF communication protocol is one thing, licensing Canon's patent on AF (the reason why there are no 3rd party AF lenses now on the market nor even planned ones) is another.
