Just RS5

It looks like the S4 will be the highest performance A4 variant.<ul><li><a href="http://www.motorauthority.com/spy-shots-2010-audi-rs5.html">http://www.motorauthority.com/spy-shots-2010-audi-rs5.html</a</li></ul>

there will probably be an RS 4 based on the new B8 A4 platform after the RS 5 and/or RS 6 are discontinued.

that's how i interpret in anyway

The article says "no RS4 sedan," clearly leaving the door open for another round of avant only RS4 goodness.

This allows NAFTA importation of a sporting audi wagon, considering that the S4 avant will not come stateside.

The RS4 avant will feature a 6spd manual with buttons back on the non-descript radio head unit, rather than surrounding the entire circumference of the stick.

AoA will also lower the price to 2001 (S4) MSRP in response to DJIA and USD:EU adjustments this week.

Well...maybe just those LAST two parts might be stretching it a little.

which is based on the B8, much like how the B7-RS4 is based on the B6.
