A Shake-up Coming to the APS-C DSLR Lineup? [CR2]

It's not going to be as big as an upgrade as the 7D II was compared to the original for stills (just like the 1DX II compared to the 1DX), but it will be very solid.
More speed (12 fps?) and faster card support for that, better IQ and AF (more high-precision cross-type points, more points at f/8) and better video features will be the main upgrades.
Maybe it will remain around the 20MP mark with a similar 1.4x crop to the 1DXII (in addition to the 1.6x) for 4k, maybe with 60fps as well (if CFast 2.0 is included), and 1080p at 120fps.
All these video features mean the AA filter is there to stay, nothing wrong with that, really.

So it seems 7DIII will be announced in 2019 which means that Canon will keep more or less the 5 year gap between the 7D systems. It will not be a problem if the improvements are on the same scale like the ones from 7D to 7DII.

The only thing the 5 year gap is tough on is people who have the need to buy something every year or two

Correct! Apart from some sensor improvement though which could be welcome sooner. Everything else can wait! But even so, I guess the more we wait the better the sensor will be

and people with the 7D waiting patiently as the difference between original and 3 should be significant to cost justify, so not really correct
