I not so sure it's unlikely. Apple only made the Mini to satisfy the investors desire to compete with Dell on the "cheap" PCs. Jobs never really wanted to do it as he knew that Dell was just using smoke and mirrors to make people think there is value in the cheap PCs they sell (it's just an up sell tactic).
The Mini has a passionate fan base (I don't know anyone that has one and doesn't love it), but it's too small to be a major consideration without other factors (investors/board) driving it
If it does indeed go away, I hope they come out with a cross between the iMac and Mac Pro (e.g. no built in LCD and expandable). But i'm not holding my breath there.
