Arcgis Desktop Life Cycle.

Question

Is ESRI planning to replace Arcgis Desktop - ArcMAP with Arcgis PRO?

I have heard that Arcgis Desktop product support ends in Jan 2021 by Esri, and based on the User Conference early this year - is it evident that Esri is planning to obsolete Arcgis Desktop and bring Arcgis pro to play the role going forward from 2021.

Related information for 10.7.1 - retired March 1, 2025.

Rumor has it there will be a ArcGIS for Desktop 10.8 including ArcMap/ArcCatalog.
