So I guess I believe exactly what I want about this too.
But that´s what we do with Pentax on this list anyway, so why treat Nikon differently :-)

Excerpt from: http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=005K61
Today, I saw this message from David Dentry from Nikon USA in the D1 Discussion Digest. Mr. Dentry has made it clear that his message respresents the official Nikon position:
HI
Ok, everyone take a deep breath...
Here you go:
"Nikon is not planning on changing the standard "F" mount on new cameras."
Let me shout that out a little louder:
"NIKON IS NOT PLANNING ON CHANGING THE STANDARD "F" MOUNT ON NEW CAMERAS."
We were told that you couldn't do AF with the "small" "F" mount, but we did.
We were told that you couldn't have internal focusing, but we did.
We were told that you couldn't have "AF-S" focusing in the "F," but we did.
We were told that you couldn't get extreme wide angle, but we did.
Clearly the current lens mount system works and it would be silly for us to alienate 50 years of lens purchasers. Hope this is clear!
-David

Interesting that he cites "knowledgeable" Nikon sources. I'm personally
quite surprised that there's been no official denial of the new Nikon
lens mount rumour. When the rumour first surfaced I gave it a 99% chance
of being pure bullsh*t. Now my estimate is down to 50%.
