My 10 year old MBP17 still works, but it's good that finally there will be a replacement option available. Hopefully it will have upgradeable parts again (at least RAM and disk).
So please start making bigger MBPs and smaller iPhones!

Pretty sure that won't happen. Don't know why, but somebody in control thinks that professional users prefer the slimmest available device over being able to put in a bigger SSD or more RAM when they need to. Better start looking for something else, because the new MBPs are no "replacements" to the one you have.
Even so, I still sometimes disagree with priorities around thinness - I would have preferred a thicker 2016 model with a legal max battery that supported 32gb of ram. Possible they found out too late in the process that 32gb lpddr was not going to be ready though?
