No big problem in my opinion, because: 1) They probably need just 4 lenses in their range (a standard zoom, a tele zoom, a pancake prime and a superzoom for video). That's the way consumer electronics companies think about photography. See Panasonic. 2) Samsung will subcontract lens manufacturing to any company capable and willing to do that. I think Samsung Corporation owns Schneider, or owns the Schneider brand name. I'd think whoever made the Schneider D-Xenon and D-Xenogon lenses for them can provide whatever they need for this mount. ;-) True, and that falls into No.2 above.

I will eventually buy one of these type cameras (that cheap thing
again) but I wouldn't risk samsung for awhile yet.

Interestingly in the discussion you mentioned they indicate crop

Also, m43 is somewhat more attractive at least to me due to the
fact that (as far as I understand) Leica takes part in the design
of some of the lenses. Who is going to make the lenses for Samsung
is yet unknown for me.
Though, indeed, the flood gates of smaller-than-slr changeable lens

Does this have basically the same sensor as the K20/K7?
Apparently it looks bigger than it really is (if the comparison
photos
with the Panasonic GF-1 are anything to go by)
