The parallel maamar Chazal, that all the holidays will be nullified 
except Purim, is I think generally taken to mean that the weekdays will 
have the same kedusha as yomtov, so yomtov will no longer be special, 
except for Purim.  So we could say something similar here, that the 
special kedusha that make korbanos so important in the first two BHMK 
will no longer stand out, and they won't evoke the feelings that they 
used to, except for Todah.  Cf RAYK's widely misunderstood take on 
"ve'orvoh laH' *minchas* Yehuda", that in the future instead of the 
flour part of a korban being tafel to the animal part it will be reversed.
