CCP Abandoning POSes

Reading through the future deployable suggestion thread, it's hard not to notice that a very sizeable amount of the suggestions involve creating deployables for things that POSes currently cover, for example manufacturing and storage away from stations. Anyone else get the feeling that, the way CCP is headed, in a few years we're going to end up with no work being done on the broken POS mechanics and a whole range of deployables doing half of what POSes do now? And POSes are most definitely broken, getting everything setup, roles working correctly, and battling the confusing UI is an absolute pain in the ass. If POSes were working correctly, we wouldn't have people suggesting new structures to do things POSes are supposed to be doing. So instead of getting the modular POSes we were promised years ago, is CCP planning on simply abandoning them and replacing them with deployables?

Confirming that suggestions of random players are a clear indication of where CCP is headed.

When CCP asks for suggestions about new stuff and a very sizeable group suggests things already covered by broken old stuff, saying wait what about the broken old stuff is completely reasonable.
