I agree that we will probably not see sentinels in the third movie -- and we know there will be a third one -- for a variety of reasons. Not the least of these reasons is that the X-movies have for the most part "played it straight", ie. tried not to be campy as hell. It would be very difficult to write a plot for a mutant movie that incorporates giant death robots yet still has a human element to the story. I'm not saying it would be impossible to do, but I'd say it's one of the less likely scenarios.
On the other hand, aside from the names of a few mutants on the computer screen there were also the names of a few initiatives. One such initiative was called "Project Wideawake" and I do believe that was the name for the original sentinel program.
The next movie is likely 2+ years away now, so we'll be wondering about it for some time.
