Hardly that bad.
The K-L will be made for DA lenses, especially the Limiteds, which all have electronically controlled aperture. The maximum I suspect we'll see a mode dial on top, plus (maybe!) the eV compensation dial. Dual control wheels as usual and the K-3-like buttons placement. On board flash too.
I actually would rather prefer a normal quick glance LCD on top and clean look, with no comp dial at all — if the metering is as good as on the K-3, who really cares.
Pentax modes such as TAv would be a nightmare to use with real dials like Fuji's or Nikon's Df. Forget it — we have crossed that bridge and old school dials aren't necessary at all, as they would not work as everyone would expect them to work.
