I'm consoled slightly by the fact that Hasselblad doesn't really exist any more but is just a brand name traded back and forth between big money concerns. I'd not mind some camera company coming out with a simplified non high end solution for my Hassy Zeiss glass which I still hoard. Perhaps the same company who comes out with a silver picture taking slab for my Leica M glass will also come out with one for Hassy Zeiss glass. And while there at it perhaps one for you guys with your Leica R glass. I do think that long lenses in from of skinny slab mirrorless cameras is a craze which is coming to an end. They really do seem quite front heavy and awkward looking.
