How many you want I just got a bag of 'em.
I bought my first screw-mount lenses in the late 60's, confident that they
would be around a long time. Then Pentax went to bayonet. I switched to Nikon,
figuring at least they would keep the same mount. They didn't. Gaa! I
fortunately didn't switch to Miranda, Konica, or Minolta.
My concern about 4/3 is that it seems that only Olympus is currently sticking
with it, but I suspect that they will soon go to m4/3 completely.
WordStar dominated word processing in 1984, so that's what I bought. Gaa! Used
it with a CPM card in my Apple IIe. Gaa! Switched to a PC and WordPerfect, the
dominant word processor in the late 1980's. Gaa!
Nothing is sacred. Evolution happens.

The future is a crystal ball with a lot of fog and little if anything to be
seen. I don't think Pentax knows the future, including their future moves
beyond the next year, hence worrying now fo possible choices five years from
now makes little sense. Use your current gear as long as it fits and move
away if/when it can no longer suit your needs.
Being concerned about possible choices five years from now actually
makes a great deal of sense for someone getting into a camera system
and looking at potentially spending several thousand dollars over the
course of those years.
