More Nikon lenses (AF-S 100-500mm f/4-5.6 IF-ED VR rumor)

UPDATE: looking at the translation again - I think it says "replaced with" instead of "replacement and", so we are talking about one potential new lens here: AF-S 100-500mm f/4-5.6 IF-ED VR

This rumor is about a new lens from Nikon to be released in Spring 2010 (or around PMA):

• The current model 80-400 f/4.5-5.6 VR will be replaced ment and with a new AF-S 100-500mm f/4-5.6 IF-ED VR lens.

NR rating system: 70%

And one more rumor: a dpreview user keeps repeating (in several different threads) that two other lenses will be released with the expected Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR - an ultra wide prime lens and an extreme zoom tele lens.

For your enjoyment (not a rumor): a rare Nikon light grey AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8D ED-IF lens currently for sale on eBay:

Update: yes, there was a 100-500mm lens rumor a while ago. Here is the banner:
