Sorry, but this is not how it works. The linkages is not regarded a feature that can be sold to the customer. It is an expense that do not increase sales but decrease profit. Eg the SR feature probably double or quadruple the potential sales of the K100D; very much worth the added cost. None of the competition offers more extended backwards compatibility than Pentax anyway so it is very likely that Pentax doesn't feel they are loosing anything by removing the linkage.
