I doubt that Pentax will support screw drive forever. It doesn't make
sense economically. That's why I stopped buying FA and F glass several
years ago. Now I have only the FA 50 and FA 35, both of which I rarely
use. However, I suspect that there will be a couple more generations
of DSLR cameras with screw drive. It's not an immediate problem.

The problem will be how long the bodies will continue to support the

There is something that bothers me slightly. It is the mention of
the fact
that all future DA lenses except DA Limiteds will not be driven by
screwdriver autofocus. It seems to make perfect sense as a
prerequisite to
introduction of EVIL camera. The converter to KAF4 (?) mount would
only have
to provide electric contacts and no mechanical coupling might be
necessary.
Or the coupling could be minimal.
Yet it is a bit unsettling for those who have lots of "legacy"
glass...
