Sort of makes sense, depending on how the powers that be get information. That is most likely the number one criticism of Pentax whether it is true or not. So if they have done focus groups or polls on why one would buy another brand over Pentax and the common answer was better AF then that may be what has gotten their attention. Personally I would rather they work on a number of other things as I find the AF quite adequate for my needs, but I realize I'm in the minority with that opinion.
I was happy to see them say small size would continue to be an advantage for them, I really don't want anything bigger than k-5. I find myself using k-01 more than I thought because I can just stick it in my pocket. And speaking of k-01 :

Well, we haven’t completely discontinued it.
is good news. I must admit I was not a fan until I bought one, but have definitely changed my mind.
