You are unlikely to get a reply. Avid generally does not confirm future releases/support info. But given EOL is 4 years away, then I would hope the expectation is very hight that yes at some point the lovely orange box thingy will get updated drivers. Now to more useful, what does "some point" mean? You actually want Avid to set a timeframe... which I'll be surprised if they do. This is standard behavior for Avid, who has always done a worse job of providing updated drivers than many (but not all) third party interface vendors--one reason I'm glad to see them exit the consumer interface business, you have to approach any upgrade very carefully.
