he indeed said that he sees the KP a very capable camera in APS-C, especially in comparison with another company, offering after two generations now a model with IBIS, that is in the end larger as a KP. He would personally call the KP an successor to the K3 and the next model will not be a K3III, as Urs said.
Yes, he expressed his wishes on some topics, it (no surprise) seems that this japanese company does not provide much information on future products. For 2019 he mentioned that the K70 and K3 are old models and that everyone can come to a logical conclusion considering this. Especially as it will be 100 year anniversary, and the LX was a model released for an anniversary too - just as an example of this fact, not as a hint on the camera type to be expected.
Cool, yes, they were talking about LX like that, but. There is something coming. Now what. That remains to be the question. Something like LX?(as it was at that time?) something else. But what is for sure, is that they have saved the best things for next year. To go with anniversary.
