I am currently accessing the metadata styles that could be implemented within a company's GIS. After reading the metadata standards on the ISO Website for ISO 19115 and some of the presentations given my ESRI at past events (e.g. presentation) I understand that this area has been progressive in recent years and some of the styles in ArcGIS Desktop are now outdated.
For example, North American Profile of ISO 19115:2003 profile is now superseded by ISO 19115-1:2014 (e.g. status of ISO 19115:2003).
Are these newer metadata styles going to be included as metadata styles one can select in ArcGIS Desktop (Map 10.6 and Pro 2.2 and beyond) or do we need to manually use the ArcGIS Metadata Toolkit to customise the ArcGIS metadata editor?
The reference to the metadata...

no mention of an immediate upgrade in here...
ArcGIS Pro Roadmap - June 2018
but in the works as your link to the presentation shows.
I see you are being anticipatory in moving this along if the time period is longer.
Some advertising for the idea as you have posted
