Canon patents a 17-35 IS 4-5.6
After the release of the 24-105 3.5-5.6 STM lens, Canon's been relatively quiet on producing other STM lenses for a "cheaper" series of lenses for full frame such as what exists for crop sensor users.
This patent appears to be in line with a 17-35 4.0-5.6 IS which certainly would fit the mold of a cheaper UWA for full frame users.
