This might be very much like wanting Apple to offer Mac OS X for Intel computers
- -- it would mean that Leica was no longer a camera manufacturer but merely a
lens manufacturer -- marginalized etc and at the mercy of Nikon and Canon. It

They might chose to make such a change -- but I would hope they find a way not
to.
