This makes sense. They could have, first, explained better the impacts and trades-offs (then it's not a flaw it's a feature) and making it optional would have quelled any discussion.
The K-1 is still available AFAIK for those not interested in the accelerator unit. And even though I reserve final judgment, I do think the actual differences in RAW are subtle and hard to spot, DPreview's opinion notwithstanding.

I don't see the link between the lens and the accelerator unit. and you can still use a K-1 ;)
From my current (incomplete as of now) testing, the accelerator unit improves things with JPEGs, and has a marginal impact (positive regarding noise, negative regarding details) on RAW. It's not a perfect trade-off but it's not an irrational one. Especially when remembering that this camera offers 36 MP, which is a LOT. And offers to disable the AA filter, and offers pixel shift (with a handheld option), all of which more than mitigates the minimal details lots.
That's my two cents.

I think they meant what they wrote. There is no way that design wouldn't be finished so close to the release date. Quality control, or the ability to produce within tolerances with a high yield, is exactly what they are talking about here.
