I suggest not deleting your saves. You won't be able to import them directly due to different architecture but there may be some kind of Mass Effect Keep program (announcement of Orbit seems to hint that) which you can use to transfer your saves to new consoles.
I'll be playing the trilogy one last time before ME:Next release and that will be the character I'll import (if it's possible). I have no interest in importing other characters 
If the trilogy is remastered to run on the ps4 and xboxone, its possible a save import can be used, though it wouldn't be for the game currently in the works, but maybe for the game after.
I can't see it happening because with how people react to DLC and then having a direct save import only if you buy a remastered edition of the game. I am just thinking of how Javik and even to a lesser extent Leviathan and how people reacted to those "mandatory pieces of DLC".

I don't think there will be a true transfer of saves, more like you mentioned something like The Keep where you pick all your choices. I am pretty sure Orbit was something they also used for Inquisition so that alone I don't think signifies anything.

The announcement certainly doesn't confirm anything, I just think there will be something like that. The name is space-related, the picture in the announcement thread is Mass Effect-related. Just a hunch

Who knows? The next game I'm sure will be for the next generation consoles. If the remaster includes all dlc for one price, folks might buy it especially people who never played the trilogy. That's why I posted 'maybe' for the game after
I doubt it. After three games the amount of choices to account for would be a nightmare for Bioware to deal with.
Get ready for a canon
Get ready for a mass effect keep (maybe)
The only way forward is to jettison the dead weight of a few hundred inane choices. Force a Destroy canon so the reason everybody is ditching the milky way would be due to destroy having a adverse effect and essentially ends up destroying the milky way thousands of years after the ME3 ending.
Since Bioware is moving away from Shepard's story and, if the leak is correct, the new game is far removed in space and time from the events in it, then what purpose would it serve? What of consequence would there be to import?
Leak aside, Bioware has been very clear about the new story not having anything to do with the events in the Shepard trilogy.

I really don't care if there are imports or not with the next Mass Effect game, but if they are there it would be interesting just for dialogue reasons to keep a line of continuity in the game. I do agree that the vast majority of choices made in the previous game won't have any impact on a new protagonist and crew.
Personally, I hope that Bioware doesn't acknowledge the ending choice and pretends it didn't happen. References to any world state other than destroy would probably seem silly or contrived.
Having to use resources and bend logic to explain why the friendly Reapers aren't solving everything or why everything isn't synthetic green seems redundant when the point doesn't have to be brought up in the first place, especially when the ending decision was made in a scenario that many (probably the majority) of players disliked.
In the presumably minimal amount of ME1-3 references, I'm hoping for mentions of how the races are rebuilding, who in the crew survived, how your LI is doing/lived the rest of their life, etc. That kind of stuff is far more important to me than my ending choice. Also, personally, I'm planning on headcanoning MEHEM into ME4, so I'm hoping that's possible without too much effort.
I wouldn't expect more than some references here and there.
All endings were "real" endings, haven't left any cliffhanger tbh.
So probably they could do it KOTOR 2 style in game questions. "Was Shephard male/female?", "Was he/she paragon or renegade or neutral?" etc.
Let me add this
Tbh, they said the same about ME3

And what color their saber was.
Omni-blade! Crap, I completely forgot.
But they're all orange so I couldn't have gone with the color.

about not worrying about the saves, too?

Hehe but again KOTOR's DS and LS endings were complete, liked DS better though. Haven't even needed a sequel, same goes for DA:O.
They were well done, no cliffhangers, haven't needed any kind of expansion too near to base games. That's why sequels to them left sour taste.(Awakenings was "so so", DA 2 was "good but lacked many things", DA:I is "meh", KOTOR 2 was really good though it wasn't finished. Glad SWTOR is far away from KOTOR 1 but again AFAIK it is loosely based on previous KOTORs)
Same goes for ME trilogy. All endings lead to really big changes to universe. So either they'll enforce one of endings(which i doubt), make indoctrination theory canon(i believe it was meant to be but won't gonna happen after that much crying) or we'll import nothing at all.
So except gender, moral checks for Shephard anything more will be mess i think.
about not worrying about the saves, too?
Tbh, I don't remember the exact quote. But it was something about ME3 being the best place to start a trilogy.

They have said that with all the sequels to both franchises or "you don't need to play the previous games".
Pick up ME for the PC.. Backwards compatible, can swap files... No problem

First thing I thought of when I saw the release. Didn't somebody comment on 'saves' during the N7 semi-informational reveal?
Assuming the leak is real, I kinda assumed that the whole point of setting the game in Andromeda was to utterly avoid the player choices in ME3. In that case, a save game import or ME 'Keep' to incorporate player choices - whether major or minor - would be counter intuitive.
I'm only expecting the odd reference to Shepard defeating the reapers, the Galaxy rebuilding, etc. Perhaps a brief cameo from a non-killable ME character (an elderly Joker?). Just generic stuff that doesn't require any choices to be taken into account and still affords the devs a clean slate without creating any canon.
Honestly that is what I am expecting no matter where they set the game.
