I think that there are three possible explanations (in order of likelihood):
1. The moderator who responded on the Canon USA forum was ill briefed and was wrong.
2. Canon are planning a big relaunch of the EOS-M system this Autumn (sorry, Fall ) and want to announce the 11-22 f/4-5.6 IS STM as a "new" lens in the USA at that time.
3. Sales figures of mirrorless cameras are flattening off and Canon is quietly pulling out of the market segment (at least for now).
