It looks like the diffractive optics in the PDAF might well have put the tunsgten light/FF thing to bed, but the top of the line DA* lenses still have failure prone SDM focus that is just too slow.
I predict that if we do not see lens updates with the new body, we will still be seeing AF complaints, albeit probably not about FF in tungsten light.

Sure, SDM is a pressing issue, too. With AF, there are a few things that need to be worked on before you adress the lens issues, though. No point in keeping a bug-free >two year old AF that's okay for mid range but nowhere near what the top range of the competition can do -- just to release reliable lenses. Especially considering that a lot of lenses do work just fine.
Have you ever tested the 5DIII's AF? Or "just" the 7D? Nikon's D4 can focus reliably at f/8.
SAFOX IXi+ AF-C is nowhere near that. Not in terms of speed, nor in terms of features.
Canon and Nikon also have some very slow lenses, especially the more affordable ones. Just think of the 100-400L for Canon.
