In other words, you cannot back up your assertion that it's an EF-S lens with any facts. Instead, the facts clearly indicate it's an EF lens, not EF-S (i.e. small image circle).
Perhaps you missed the existence of the current 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS lens? Perhaps you're blind to the fact that an EF-S superzoom starting at 24mm (i.e. not a wide angle) is basically a non-starter and that other superzooms for APS-C are 18mm-xxx lenses? Get real, indeed. :
Quite correct, it'll be FF and and an L most likely.

I'm looking something to replace my XF100. Something with better low light sensor. I'm waiting for:
A) CX10 with pro body or
B) C100 with 10x zoom lense
I NEED the 10x zoom range. Current 28-300mm has push-pull zoom that is probably bit hard to use in video. APS-C (1.5x) would be better/smaller/cheaper and with STM it would focus full time.

I see you're (<-note the use of an apostrophe, you should try it sometime) still acting like...you. Don't worry, if Canon comes out with your fantasy lens you'll still have a good excuse for not having it – all those wannabe fake NYC photogs you talk about will snap up all the copies to shoot pics of skateboarders and whatever. That was why you couldn't get a 7DII right away, wasn't it?
Please return to your cave or go back under your bridge.

I also expect this to be the L successor to the EF 28-300 L ... twist-zoom rather than push-pull and with current 4-stop IS. I expect weight, size and price to still be "substantial". 
A bit of a surprise, I was under the impression that the 28-300 L did hardly sell any more for the last 10 years or so. Personally, I am not interested. Would also have thought, an updated 24-105/4 L IS II with similar IQ improvements and price hike
like other Mk. I to II moves - e.g. 70-200 2.8 IS, 24-70, 100-400 ... would make a lot more business sense and money for Canon. But then again, Canon is a strange beast.

Why would Canon see a market for this lens now? Let's see.
Putin is trying to annex Ukraine.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are on a collision course.
Syria is engulfed in flames, prompting one of the worst refugee crisis in recent memory.
China is aggressively asserting its territorial claims.
North Korea is...well...it's North Korea.
A premature abandonment of Iraq opened the door for ISIS
Terrorists are on the move in Africa.
And, all the while, American foreign policy is in a shambles.
No wonder Canon is expecting to see increased demand for it's combat photographers' lens. Seems like a good bet to me.

This range makes a gereat walk around and travel lens. I currently use Tamron's 16-300mm for this purpose and would love to upgrade. I haven't gone with Canon's 28-300 becasue it is long in the tooth and too big for my purposes. Let's hope they do better with a replacement.

This appears to be no shorter than the current version - 3mm longer when retracted, and 32mm longer when extended. I guess they could use lighter materials to reduce weight, but is likely to still be a lens which doesn't blend into the background. Certainly it's not in the same category as the Tamron 28-300 VC.

In fact, it's a bit shorter when retracted (>1") and when extended as well, compared to the current lens. The thing to keep in mind is that a patent isn't for a lens per se, but rather for an optical formula. So when you see 'total length of lens' that means all way back to the image plane (sensor) whereas the specs for an actual lens measure just to the back of the lens.

Or 600/840/1200mm...
OK, so we're all in agreement. The lens needs to be 11-1200mm, apparently at a constant 2.8 aperture (although 1.8 wouldn't hurt). IS, STM, and L status are all optional. Glad we got that worked out.
Oh, and released simultaneously with the 24-105 f/4L IS II.
