Like i said i don't see a problem with the contacts.
All the potential problems you name are also their with every other mount and most of them have contacts too.
ffs?
The leica M diameter is 44mm indeed about the same as the K mount, i've no idea what you mean with making up excuses?
Having an M mount and a good adaptor for it to the K mount it would mean you can use Leica M lenses and Pentax lenses.
Since the M mount has a shorter register it means faster lenses are posiable.
Does this mean they will screw up their customers... wel not really since this mount would be for mirrorless and not for DSLR... i hear no one complain that the Q had a different mount...
I think camera's like the K-01 are a bit stranger. Sure it's nice they use the K-mount without an adaptor but i rather have a system that also taps into other resources. You are free to dislike that idea although i don't know why...
