To me, yes, because its where the market is going and Canikony, PanOly, Fuji are not fools, though we'd like to think they Pentax with their large 1960's market share knows better.
MILC does quite a few things better.
1. Smaller body; though the mounted lens plays a part, there are nice options that really make a small package.
(eg. DA limiteds; M20/4, M28/2.8; FA28/2.8; FA50/1.4; FA limiteds; RF type lenses )
2. Manual focus - magnification and focus peaking
3. Metering with manual lenses - just set to Av mode, Auto ISO and close down the aperture accordingly (no need green button metering)
4. Histogram on EVF (even with manual lenses)
5. Blown highlights on EVF
6. Cheaper to make (for the sake that Pentax stays profitable)
There are downsides of course, but there is really no harm to chase after this segment of the market while also providing the DSLR option (and perhaps slowing down releases for both since yearly launches are not realistic anyway)
I have lots of manual lenses.
Unfortunately, Pentax does not make a MILC for them as much as I'd like to use a Pentax, so I use a modified A7.
The K1 is mainly for my AF lenses.
I'd really hope that I give my money to Pentax for the next MILC for the MF lenses than a Canikony...
