Well I for one would want that, and I believe that when the MZ-D,
(MR-52), was being developed there was full legacy support, by the time
the *ist cameras were released not so much, and Pentax quickly added the
green button KLUGE to the *ist-D firmware when the shitstorm hit.

The question regarding legacy lenses is, are they going to engineer the
mechanical controls for M type lens and integrate the electronic camera
controls that allow aperture control without operator intervention i.e. the
green button to set the meter on the K-10 cameras?

Subject: Re: Pentax FF is going to happen
It will be interesting to see if they announce a FF lens roadmap at the same
time as an announcement of a FF camera body. One of the nice things about
the Current aps-c line is the very nice set of available lenses designed
specifically for the crop format.
They'll need to move pretty fast. Not many people are going to invest in a
body that only has a few current lenses available.
I know, there are a bunch of old lenses on the used market that will provide
limited functions. That's a nice addition to a list of current offerings.
But you need to have at least a minimal catalog of two or three zooms to
draw a big enough consumer base to matter.
I'm sure they can partner with tamron, tokina or some third party lens maker
to re-badge enough lenses to get them quickly up to speed.
