A distinct advantage to the 4/3 concept is that if I have a better idea for a body I don't also have to come up with a full line of lenses. Likewise, a lens manufacturer does not also have to make bodies. For the same reason I keep a M42 body around as there are some quite wonderful lenses out there in that mount, and for very little money.
