As stated by Popo, Canon will come with a follow up for their highly popular 7D. The MK II is said to go to 10fps, making it a sports camera and possibly an alternative for those who miss the 1.3x crop for the extra reach. It will also offer more features and innovations than merely being a better specced revamp.
A Canon representative has hinted at that Canon thinks enthusiast semi pro models will move to FF (6D), but that is about the 60D line, not the 7D which is aimed at more professional use. There still will be a 70D.
APS-C has a big plus over FF (more reach with same lens), which still makes them attractive to wildlife/bird photographers (and some sports photographers). FF's only real advantage is a possible more shallow DOF, with a weight and size penalty. That is not going to change, so there will always be a market for higher specced APS-C cameras. It is not just a price thing.
