You assume one is in the wings.  The sensor and distance to lens elements 
problem is still there and so far no one at Leica or Zeiss has even hinted 
it can be solved anytime soon.  So I guess you can wait if you want.  Yes 
they are looking into it, but so far they have not said it can be done.  
Period!
