From photo.net:
"Can anyone think of a single valid reason why a new lens mount should be necessary? "
Ask Canon or Minolta. They did such a stunt and made a lot of business sense.

How typical. Paal is more interested in the financial well being of the camera manufacturers than in his own one.
And as a serious comment. Canon does a lot of business because they always have the right product at the right time, with the right technology and performance, not because they changed camera mounts. Minolta also changed mounts, but that did not prevent them to be now in such a poor shape that they're looking for a buyer for the company (I hear they're in talks with Konica).
