Apparently use of PLM is rather limited, because in many lens designs, the focusing element is too massive.

@Asahiman was the first voice before Photokina to tell us that the upcoming APS camera wouldn't be a DSLR; it turned to just be the GRiii. Now he is saying that most effort is going towards "FF"; no one else is saying much .... we can see what happens during the next year.

That is fair. We already know that many are disappointed by the news from yesterday's interview that the 'K-3ii replacement' is scheduled for next year

There is nothing in this sentence that disagrees with my expectations.

There have been no new Pentax cameras in over a year.

It is my personal interpretation of the words by @Asahiman "Currently nearly all the development power is going into K fullframe SLR Body and lens development, very interesting and in 2 classes" plus the knowledge we now have that the 'K-3ii replacement' is apparently scheduled for next year plus his enthusiasm. I don't believe the so-called 'KP Custom' would cause much enthusiasm in any sane person, and everyone seems to be discouraged by the APS schedule {even Kimio Tanaka}. I have been completely bollixed by the recent lack of new products camera bodies by Pentax; giving more priority to "FF" than to APS could explain what we are seeing, why getting that thing out the door seems to be so slow.
added: I find two years between Pentax products camera bodies to be totally inexplicable.

Apparently his enthusiasm is a result of his having seen the "very internal roadmap".
I don't know of his having any knowledge of how work is actually progressing.
What I hadn't been willing to express before the news that the "K-3ii replacement" will be next year is that most likely there are at least two "FF" bodies ahead of the "K-3ii replacement"; how enthusiastic that makes someone will depend on her/his inclinations.
