I feel like if that was the case they'd make a last push maxing out the current gen as they release new ARM lineup. Everyone knows it'll be a big change that requires buy-in from developers and third party hardware--which will take years. I'm pretty sure that's what Apple did for previous transitions like OS9 to OSX and PowerPC to Intel. The current multi-year lull in hardware then launching the new thing that won't be feasible for a few years makes sense from a development/resource allocation standpoint, but is a nightmare from a business perspective. You have to do double-duty so customers don't abandon you during the transition.
