Arcgis Desktop Life Cycle.

[AbhinavReddy1]

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.
