Will Lightroom become a full-fledged member of Creative Cloud?

Question

I don't know about the rest of you, but I find myself starting any workflow in Lightroom 5 (as opposed to Bridge CC). There are more functionalities in Lightroom than in Bridge. In fact, many features overlap in both products and those that do seem more refined and intuitive than in Bridge CC.
I was wondering if Lightroom was slated to become a full member of the Creative Cloud family?
Personally, if this were the case, I would gladly bid adieu to Bridge in favour of a brand new Lightroom CC as 'the new bridge'.
Gosh, I feel like this is a scene from the God Father Movies where someone gets 'made' while someone else pays the ultimate demotion.
I know a lot of you either enjoy working with, or have Bridge integrated in their workflows. I'm not suggesting and end-of-the-line to that product - well, actually, yes I am while hoping Adobe would do this as smooth a transition as possible! Lightroom is certainly much more powerful by comparison IMHO.
Best regards,

My understanding is if you are subscribing to the "full Creative Suite" then you are entitled to the use of Lightroom 5 which will install as the normal stand alone program.
