martin,

what it may mean is that, in addition to ttl flash capabilities, the new
camera will feature other technological 'niceties' of the 'auto' variety:
auto film rewinding, perhaps even autofocus and/or exposure. on a positive
note, this will make all previous m6s more collectible still, whether they
be pandas, antelopes, or what-have-you.
