Pentax has sold just two MILCs - the K-mount K-01 and the "Q" family, which has a much smaller sensor.

I didn't realize that Nikon was still producing their 1" bodies.

I wonder how many people use K-01 for video

The sensor used in the K-70 is said to be exactly what is needed for an MILC. Modifying the K-70 to create a K-07 seems like an obvious way to move into the MILC world. I'm trying to save my pennies so I could purchase one {I've had my K-30 for only 27 months so far, and normally I expect a camera to last 48 months, but I'd be willing to make an exception in that case}, but there is no sign Pentax has any interest in doing that.
I disagree with the lesson you see here. Most people view both the K-01 and the EOS-M as having been failures outside Asia. As Canon evolved the "M" series they moved from no EVF to optional EVF to built-in EVF. These two cameras proved MILC needs EVF to be acceptable to non-Asian customers, no matter what size the sensor is.
added thought: Frankly, I don't expect to see any MILC anytime soon from Pentax. The brand's name comes from the Penta-prism used in (D)SLR cameras, and apparently that remains close to their hearts. They have limited resources for R&D, and I expect those funds to go towards marginal improvements in their DSLR lines.
