The rest of 2019 for Canon will be about updating dated product lines [CR2]

- Start date
I've heard absolutely nothing about the EOS M lineup. It makes sense they'd just ride out the M50, it sells really well and doesn't cost a lot.

What's up with that? I thought this rumor pretty much confirmed we're getting replacements for the M series:
Breaking down the latest Canon gear to appear for certification

From all those certified cameras, the EOS R (Edit: meant the RP) was the only one released so far. There's a bunch of M and SLR on that list. Especially the 32 MP 90D sounds really interesting. And you mentioned a rumor about the upcoming 24MP sensors beeing new designs recently. So those M6 and M5 upgrades could be quite interesting as well.

Those certification guesses can change over time. There have also been a few times that a "certified' product never actually gets released.

I'd call the total of 10 lenses launched a "paper" launch a la computer components. Yes, they launched 4 and announced 6, but none of the 6 announced will be available for awhile. Only the 4 launched/announced with the R are available for order (or were for pre-order). They haven't even shown real models to anyone of the next 6 yet, just mock-ups. Yes, the lineup looks awesome, but at this time, that's all it is - "looks". I'm really hoping to see some awesome quality out of these new lenses. This year seems to be more of a "calm before the storm" for Canon, and I'm really hoping that it builds to a raging one rather than something that fizzles out instead of hitting like we hope.

Not terribly surprised, coupled with CEO Fujio Mitarai's statement regarding their view of the market in the next couple of years. I am waiting on the M5 II (or whatever replaces it) but I've thought about what would make me buy it and frankly there's not a lot other than IBIS or BSI or a variable angle screen that are just must-haves (and even I might need two of those must-haves to reasonably think of paying full price). Mind you I'm talking realistic upgrades, not pie-in-the-sky BS. But that's the world makers and buyers are in - unless there's a breakthrough or they decide to make good with Kasey of Camera Conspiracies, Tony & Chelsea and everyone one of us and deliver a friggin' camera with all of the options that should be on a camera.... there's not a whole lot that's really, really compelling to pay full price. The environment around photography is changing rapidly while the technology is stagnating. The makers are likely going to sit back and ponder their moves towards profitability. And that might mean waiting for the world to figure out if still cameras have major seat at the table or become a 2nd tier citizen to some form of video cams or other media equipment or smartphones simply eat the marketplace.

It's all about points of view. "Merged into one" may mean that the 90D moves upmarket and subsumes the 7D's role, and "no new professional camera" may mean that the 90D doesn't reach the heights of the 7D line, or what Canon (or this source) considers "pro". So it could be that the 90D is released, no 7D3 is ever released, and it's not a "pro" camera. This may mean that the 90D still has tilty-flippy and no joystick, but acquires even more speed and AF prowess.

I'd be 100% ok with this. Especially if the MP count is making a significant jump too, for better sports cropping.

I'm curious too, the 80D is only 3 years old, and it's not lacking much (other than possibly 4K). Give it a resolution bump, maybe the better AF system from the 7d Mk II, I'm not even sure what else. A few FPS?
The 7d mark ii is 4.5 years old, I wonder if there still is a chance that these lines get merged?
