Give up with this stupidity. Canon FD/EOS Change is not the same as PENTAX film SLR /DSLR Change because pentax did not change the mount In any way (except to ignore K/M aperture settings At a cost savings of about $5 in parts). Why cant you get that through your little head?

Canon could have, and should have, continued to sell FD mount cameras for longer than the couple of years after the introduction of the EOS, or engineered the EOS mount in such a way that FD lenses were also mountable to the new cameras. It's not much of a technical problem to keep making something that you already make, though it is more of a technical problem to make something that is backwards compatable with old technology equipment. Why can't you understand that long term support of the lenses is of utmost importance? I mean, you did say it, after all.
