I find that incredibly hard to believe -- it'd be insanely dumb. Though that doesn't mean it wouldn't happen. MS is already struggling to attract developers to the platform (and keep the ones they have).
It also doesn't fit with their reported strategy of keeping 6.5.X around for lower cost devices. It is not a good idea to have two active platforms that require separate development and aren't compatible.
