Leica has a DSLR that's larger than the lenses designed to fit it?

"Full Frame" means that the sensor is the total size of the format as it
was
originally designed.  Any format.

The 35mm derived sector of the industry doesn't own the moniker, even if
some of its users choose to appropriate the words to their exclusive
use.

So what would you describe the new Leica DSLR as, "overfull frame"?
Super
FF?
