There seems an awful lot of marketing fog about Panasonic at the moment. Not much point reporting on rumours on top of rumours until something concrete comes out about Panasonic (or Samsung ... or Olympus ... or some Chinese company's plans). Not long until Photokina.

Another issue that has been over-looked here is that a lot of these sensor measurements and pixels don't end up in the recorded image. So it's kind of a 'false precision' to split hairs about the math.
In-camera processing prior to writing the RAW to disc, and external RAW editors too, will often mask off the edge pixels in a RAW, sometimes along one edge, sometimes along top and bottom, sometimes all around the image, depending on the camera or the RAW tool.

Yes, I concede that it is a forlorn hope to see an interest in FF mount standardization. An opportunity lost for the industry and consumers. Now we are seeing (once again) a rather wasteful profusion of different mounts stuck in front of 24x36 sensors. The m4/3 consortium had the right idea.

Yes. In this respect, I think despite all these fancy new FF announcements, m4/3 and APS-C mirrorless will continue to have a long life.
The new emphasis on 'big' (size and $$) mirrorless by Nikon and Canon kind of runs against what consumers like and expect about mirrorless. So maybe some time soon, I suspect, we might see APS-C mirrorless announcements from both Canon and Nikon using their new mounts.

Yes. Look and learn, then act.
With mirrorless becoming such a crowded market now, and one occupied by big industrial players like Canon, Sony and Panasonic now, hastily throwing money around in one direction or another would be a mistake.
In an ideal world, all FF mirrorless players would adopt one openly licensed mount - eg Sony's FE - and then just fight it out on bodies and lenses.
