That's a given. The real question is will Nexus S?
Likely but chances are it's the last one it will get, officially at least. I don't see them making the 5.0 cut. I'm even concerned about the GNex getting 5.0.
It sucks but it's the way things are. Even Apple couldn't do much about it and they only have 5 phones to worry about. Since the G1, hundreds devices had even shorter support, it's not a valid excuse but Nexus devices fared well in longevity comparisons. It would be foolish to expect the very progress of things that brings us better devices to somehow spare older devices in the process.
What's the reasonable timetable here? 24 months for the "up to date" status? I stuck with my previous phone for 30 months, partly because it did the job and partly because since I got it, nothing on the market struck me as "must have". Fact that OEM's like to blurt out planned features way in advance, show off future phones and demo units that won't hit the market in years didn't help either. I distinctly remember seeing a Qualcomm's roadmap that had the "S4 Pro" listed in the final column but I don't remember when because it was sooo long ago. I've been reading about the Exynos 5 and mobile 720p/1080p displays for a long time as well.
