It's my #1 lense as well...I'm not casting it aside, just saying that I am skeptical that they would bring out an IS version of it, and questioning IS for such a focal length. > An IS would be > spectacular!

Are you actually getting blurry images using this lense? What shutter speeds are you shooting at? I use the 24-70 on a 1V with the BP-E2, and it's rock solid. I do admit, I run out of "room" using 400 indoors with incandescent lighting, so I tend to use a strobe, or switch to the 24/1.4...then I'm fine. I'll shoot down to 1/15 and get quite decent shots, but at 1/30 with the 24/1.4 I get sharper pictures.
