What is the future of GC/MS Chemstation?

We have seen Chemstation being replaced by Openlab Chemstation.
Do you expect that GC/MS Chemstation will be shortly replaced by a new Openlab GMS Chemstation?

I was told recently by one of our Agilent service reps that it will not be replaced. But I have long been concerned about this as I have grown to know and like MSDChemstation quite well. I actually think Mass Hunter will eventually take over for acquisition and data processing for stand-alone systems. From what I understand Openlabs is for multi-instrument connectivity for both acquisition and processing in a "whole lab" type environment. So I don't think it would be practical in every lab setting.

Maybe there's someone from Agilent here on the forum that can give us some better intel though. :D
