I'll stick with my 7DM2 for as long as I can.

Stepping down to a 90D does not seem like a wise choice.
Why wait for specs, canonical? Do you expect the 90D to match or even surpass the 7D Mk II as an action camera?
You cannot realistically expect that Canon will deliver a camera named
xxD and priced at around USD 1400.00 to be as good an action camera as a camera from the
xD-series that had a higher introduction price of around USD1700,00 in 2014?
If anything, Canon will not do this even if they could! If the 90D would outperform the 7D Mk II it would then Canon would give it a name in the xD series (not in the xxD-series) for the simple reason that these sell at a higher price level.
And knowing Canon, the 90D will not even match the 7D Mk II in important areas. Don't forget a mirrorless action camera is on the way, no doubt - perhaps even a cropped sensor body. Canon does not want to raise the bar too high for their first step in this area, and therefore alone the 90D will not be comparable to the 7D Mk II.
I have no doubt that the 90D will turn out to be a potent all-rounder and will also have nice performance for action photography (the 80D is not bad either). But in both ergonomics and AF-performance (both of which are essentiel for a top ection camera), the 7D Mk II will certainly not be surpassed.
So EduPortas has a valid point to hold on to his 7D Mk II: the 90D will not be a step up and at this point there is no mirrorless alternative for cropped action photographers.
