Sorry for the selective posting but I keep reading this statement, but the next Pentax should be as good as a camera released 3 years ago (January 2016). The competition are catching Pentax at all the good stuff they do, but Pentax are falling further behind in the areas they were never good at to start with (auto focus in this case).
Budget isn't an excuse for being stagnant (edit - actually it is, but then they should pack up and go home).

I have a K5ii and haven't been tempted to upgrade to any of the more recent Pentax cameras though I will be tempted by the K3ii replacement. I haven't used the KS-2 to compare it to though.

I agree with you and the post you quoted but as I get older (and I'm still in my 40's!) I am starting to need more assistance from the technology so better auto focus is becoming more important to me as my eyes are deteriorating (which seems to be happening at an alarming rate!!).
Although I've looked at other brands in the past there has never been a big enough reason to move, but since Sony's announcement that their eye AF will work on animals in the near future (most of my shots are pets) that does seem a big draw. I'm not expecting that from Pentax, but I would like them to be as good as the Nikons from 5 years ago.

the problem for Pentax (and I love them) is thatthe competition keeps giving more and more and more and more ....
for example, I have been lusting after a Sony A73 for a while, however they have anncounced that they are bringing 'animal eye focus' to their current line up. If it's as good as their 'person' eye focus then that is a reason to dump Pentax on the spot (for me)- they will never, ever be as good as Sony.
I am really sad to say, but I know that in 5 years time, Pentax won't be able to focus on my house as well as any other camera can do ...... I love the Pentax output, as we all do, but no one buys into that because of the 1 in 10 images we get. If pentax can up their game to be a 7 out of 10 then maybe
It isnt' going to happen tough is it :(

Just imagine what people will be like if that is what they release! Lots of moaning and then lots of fanboys saying it's natural progression :D
I have just bought a Sony RX100m4 in the sale which fixes a lot of the holes in the Pentax line up for me (ie half decent video and better autofocus) so I'm not in such a rush for the next Pentax camera now. In fact I might skip it all together as I'm more than happy with my K5ii / RX100 combination.
