Perhaps Ricoh is looking at three things: The demand for DSLRs as a whole, the demand for its K-1 series DSLR, and how well third-party manufacturers are doing in selling their own Pentax compatible lenses. "If you build it, they will come " is a nice tagline for a film, not necessarily a sound business plan in an uncertain market.
For me, new lenses for the K-1 Are far less important than the release of the K-1 itself. Kudos to Ricoh for releasing the K-1, which is for me a real fulfillment of my personal photographic wish list. I have rented one several times until I can purchase my own, and really appreciate how it revitalizes my old glass.

The K-1 makes the most of quality older lenses, it's worth considering used Pentax glass, especially what is on offer here on the PF marketplace. My favorite vintage lens is a 17mm Takumar Fisheye.
