Just rumor that the first version of Intels will not be supported in Lion. After that, I don't believe workstations will be supported. I too use "data points" and reserve the right to be wrong, but...

Thunderbolt + Steve Jobs always streamlines hardware + They killed the server line + FCP X is not designed to work with any external hardware, in fact it may be designed towards the iPad style interface + the iCloud was yet another tipping of Jobs' hand that hew wants a centralized processor with semi smart terminals + I still believe that Steve Jobs is trying to own the entire pipeline from shooting to end viewer and he doesn't see the need for workstations in that universe.

The funny )or not) part is that I have seen in my lifetime the user go from dumb terminals connected to a mainframe, to the individual PC which set us free (Thanks to Apple) and now we are heading back (thanks to Apple). Very weird. Soon someone else will be able to do the 1984 ad with Apple being big brother.
