Well, I think that Kodak should do the same with Kodachrome. As some of you recall, I started using it on a trial basis after moving to Switzerland, where processing is reasonably fast. Well, the trial period is over, and the three Kodachrome emulsions are now my base films. Kodachrome 25 for landscapes in the R8, Kodachrome 64 as the standard film in my chrome M6, and Kodachrome 200 when extra speed is required. I will still use Provia F or Velvia on a rare occasion when unnaturally punchy colors are desired, but I am a total convert to Kodachrome now. It really does go well with Leica glass. Those of you who live in places where processing time is not measured in weeks should give it a try.
