I'd find it very hard to believe that Canon would bring out a EF 200mm f/2.8 L IS when the EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS exists. I'll be the first to agree that the prime lens will be a little sharper, but the market for that lens would have to be very, very small.
Now, why they ever stopped producing the EF 200mm f/1.8 L is a mystery to me. An IS version would be awesome, not that I'd ever be able to cost-justify one. I'm not sure if it needs, or I'd want the DO treatment, though.
Can anyone explain why Canon stopped producing the EF 50mm f/1.0 L? The new f/1.2 just isn't a replacement and used versions of the f/1.0 sell for more than $5,000. I'd think Canon might have just upped the price and kept building a few.
