Not "officially" discontinued, but production has been decreased significantly which means you will not see 20d's made at all in the near future. My "hunch" is that come the next big photo show (not expo, but you all know the one after it) there will be an introduction of another model in this range. My "guess" is a Rebel named camera on steroids. Effecitvely making the Rebels the amateur-prosumer range of the SLR line.
But this is the time for Canon to push heavy on the MarkIIn and the 5d, you will of course see a change in the price 1ds Mark II around the corner.
Generally Canon gives each SLR 18 months of flight time so to speak, keeping that in mind, the 20d and the 20da for that matter, they are on final approach.
