I use my Linhof Field camera with ease, as I do my Alpa 10d. But these don't exist in an M6 body. Your hand/brain (feel/subconscious) is at work and unless you stop and say "oh yes, this is the assbakwards camera", you will either make mistakes, or futz around a lot. The bottom line is that those new inconsistencies were not necessary, and it looks like a marketing committee was heavily involved, rather than real Leica photographers.
