The assumption is that the APS sensor will go the way of the Dodo.

The assumption, no, wait, the fact is that EF-S lenses don't work on fullframe and in general there are better lenses available except for the 10-22mm. I own the 10-22mm and there I still find no reason to own any other EF-S lenses. The rest of my lenses will work on any EOS camera.
