I could see the point of having a camera like you describe as a completely new model, but not as an evolution of the Q series.

Not as a replacement for current Q camera designs, but as an addition. Just like the Olympus Air is an addition to the mFT series of cameras, not a replacement.

I agree that the camera should be operable without a phone. A phone would be just one of the options to control it.

Yes, tethering. I have corrected the spelling.

Of course not lol, abality to forward what should be on the screen (but in this case only EVF present) to the phone's screen.
That is, if really a screen is needed.

Yes, provided they move the electrical contacts. So, it wouldn't be exactly the same mount.

Isn't this rumor site the place where the leeks are supposed to appear?

Leek is a town in the Netherlands.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leek,_Netherlands and it also means layman and seemed to and is pronounced Lake which all has nothing to to with Q-lenses.
