An updated EF 800mm f/5.6L IS is a lens I figured we would have seen already, but here we are still waiting for an update. For the moment, owning an EF 600mm f/4L IS II and a 1.4 teleconverter outperforms the EF 800mm f/5.6L IS in most of the important ways.
It looks like Canon is continuing to work on a follow-up to the longest lens in the current EF lineup.

We've been told to expect new “big white lenses” some time in the next year, but we do not yet know which lenses in the lineup will see an update.
