We only comment on the next upcoming version and those plans, which is VFP 8.0. If you asked this same question to the SQL Server product group at Microsoft or about any other product, you'd receive the exact same answer. Exactly how we evolve VFP after VFP 8.0 is released will be disclosed after VFP 8.0 is released, not sooner.
