Yes, this would basically obviate Sonnet and Haiku. If you consider them 1 and 2 generations behind, respectively (that's not really what they are), you can still get a ton out of those older chips. Not to mention people still use older Opus versions happily. (In part because they don't like the new Opus but still, the cost effectiveness is a huge boon.)
