I am not positive on this, but with the timeline presented here, it would be an 8 year life cycle which is more than usual.
The F15 is only going to have a 5 year life cycle, so it seems like they do cut them short if they don't think it is going to end well.
I understand what you are saying, but the writing was on the wall for this, I feel like they should have moved faster with the change.
