So you're drinking the Kool-Aid too?
Newsflash: Despite mirrorless being "all the rage" since 2001 (or was it even before?), DSLRs still outsell mirrorless cameras despite the fact that Canon and Nikon dove into that market head-first.
With the camera market shrinking 20-30% each year, don't expect Ricoh to create a new mount and start all over again in mirrorless, build a new lens lineup, etc. It just makes no sense for the business. They need to capture the DSLR market that others are abandoning, if they do any investment in this shrinking market (ILC cameras) at all.
