Eh, maybe I'm being a little harsh, obviously, things depreciate. I remember when I bought my G3 through Dell for 700ish (too high), and thought I got a good deal.
Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely 0 problem with innovation. Like Russ said, some people are never happy with anything. I remember the 40D coming out, and everyone saying it's dog crap, and for the money it's a crap update. Sorry, but I think every penny more for the 40D I spent is worth it, over the 30D.
Honestly, if Canon says
Here's a 40D on steroids (essentially what that 50D is), with more MP (even though this doesn't matter AS much for me, getting more ppi will be nice, and cropping will be nice too) micro adjust (the fps seems off to me, yeah Sean makes a point saying it's not that much of a loss, I just don't see Canon releasing LESS fps on a HIGHER model) for the same price of the 40D, that'd be awesome.
It seems like it gets out of hand sometimes though,
"Weather sealed, in body IS, 7980 AF points, micro adjust this that the other thing" We want 8000$ camera specs at 1000$ camera price. And while that would be gosh darned sweet, I just don't see it happening. I want it to, but it won't. Kind of like, I want Adriana Lima to knock right on my door, have her, Maria Sharapova and Diane Neal all tell me that it's okay, and my wife has a signed permission slip for me to through down with them...it just won't happen.
Why honestly shouldn't I be miffed if it comes out? For near the price range of a 40D? I just bought my 40D at the end of May. Is Canon saying to me, screw buying our current model, wait 6 months, and we'll release one that's better? For the same/similar cost? Again, no problem with technology and innovation, and if it comes out I'm going to be happy. Stan on here pointed something out. If Canon is pushing those ISO's that high, that means that our noise levels at the lower ISO's are going to get better. We're going to get more for the dollar, and that's what it's about. Me being miffed at a new model coming out, is just hindsight if that makes sense. Then again, that would only be IF this comes out. If it doesn't then all of the 50D threads are a moot point.

. Next time, you will not ask. It happened the same way with Nikon too. I saw in Nikon's case before it was pulled down. 
Oh, and you'll expect yearly upgrades for APS-C cameras from now on, just like compact digicams.
