But since Standard is now 3 years, maybe it is not Extended who is really dead.

When they announced Pioneer I assumed it was going to be the revival of Extended. I couldn't, and still can't, fathom why they chose to make another non-rotating format. It's just Modern Jr., and with every passing year the difference between them becomes smaller. I'd be much more interested in a six- or eight-year rotating format. It could target newer players who have smaller collections but are turned off by the churn of Standard.
