But we don't even know if new lenses will have PLM motors. And why only slow 55-300 has such motor.

Huge?
I had K-5 and I can say that K-5 was the worst camera in terms of AF. Looks like my ist* DS.
Even K200D is better. A bit slower, but much accurate.
K-5IIs is better, but no any huge improvements at all. My friend has K-3, I've tried it and found it better than K-5IIs.
BUT....Still need to adjust lenses.
I can't put any Pentax lens and shoot without any problem. Back or front-focus are reality.
No way to adjust zoom lenses like Olympus had for many years.

Ok, so I have a K-S2 with this "antique" SAFOX and without 1 million AF points but it works well for me.
My fastest AF lens is the FA 135 f/2.8. But we all have different needs of course.
I say not about SPEED or ACCURACY, but about new technologies in AF system of Ricoh.
I don't say about user's satisfaction of Pentax AF. I say about real progress.
Visible and serious.
