I agree 100% here. Canon changed their mount in 1986, and left their users then in the dark. However, they switched to a very large, progressive and flexible mount, and there are no reasons to believe that they will change it again. After all, the mount is fully electronic, and all changes will be in software (theoretically). In fact, even the oldest EOS bodies can control the newest USM lenses, and vice versa. IS is probably not supported by the oldest bodies, and the oldest bodies cannot control the newest flashes. But the newst bodies can control all flashes. Cheers, Boz
