There is good news for the flagship cameras.
It can be seen in the enhancements of the new Eos Rebel XTi.
A. Expect soon: The dust reduction system will most likely find its way to the next 1Ds Mark X
B. Immediate Benefits to us: For one's travels or a spare, this little XTi seems to be a dream!
You have your 1D cameras but need back up. Consider this, for the XTi, with lenses f2.8 and wider, central focus point is now very accurate. Autofocus 9 point system (of the 30D) is fast! Nothing extra for a 1D owner, but it means that with a 70-200 2.8 IS, 35 1.4L or a 50 1.4, one can have a 10MP rapidly focusing extra camera with integral flash, for a wedding reception or social event for just $799! We've already own the lenses, so this is a no brainer.
So I may get an XTi in the bag and "Bob's your uncle!".
