Subject: [Leica] The future of R

Is anything aside from pride keeping Leica from marketing an entry-level
SLR and lenses with the R-bayonet?  I wouldn't have to be called a Leica -
how about Minox R?  It would introduce many more people to the R system at
lower cost, and having an entry-level camera available would persuade some
to buy Leica R knowing that a backup body and infrequently-used lenses need
not cost as much as the premium stuff.
