Not me. Development effort follows the money and crop-sensor cameras constitute the bulk of the dSLR market at present. I believe it is safe to assume that many of the K-1 features will trickle down to one or more APS-C models in the near future. That being said, I would not hold my breath waiting for the following features to be supported on a crop-sensor body:
- The rear tilt screen design*
- The third control wheel
- ISO 204,800 or even half that
Of the K-1 features that may migrate down, I would expect most (all?) to be limited to the top-end body and would include:
- 5-axis SR*
- 33-point AF (SAFOX 12)
- Improved pixel shift
- LCD overlay viewfinder*
- USB tethering
* Less likely

* I was reminded in a following comment that the K-S2 features an articulated rear LCD. I was referring specifically to the unique, complex, and fairly bulky design of the K-1 screen. I would expect that some sort of articulated screen will likely be present on at least one future APS-C model, just not the same design as on the K-1.
