I thought you were going to say the G series is no longer relevant  because
of the Leica X1.
Which is how I feel about it at least.

Any camera with a 7.60 x 5.70 mm sensor size does not get my attention.
That's a bit better than super 8 but half the size of Minox for petes sake!

The Leica x1 is a half frame camera.
Which I can sink my teeth into as its a new level of compact.
As in pocketable. But capable of real quality.
A guy named Barnack in Germany thought up an idea like that 95 years ago.
