Of course- but also keep in mind that pride is mother of arrogance. Sometimes its better to fix things up post release and give end users some possibilities to do it by themselves than behave like there is no problem or fix it only by service actions.
I'm sure the new DFA will deliver stellar quality-when ready.
Also new SDK release is very good move. Making more of that kind releases-for example closed lend firmware update software, would only serve the good cause.

Every software related problem could be post-release addressed by Pentax docking hardware for lens firmware upgrade and auto-focus tuning, even simple camera USB upgrade solution software for lens would be great. I find Tamron and Sigma dock devices great addition for existing lineup of lenses when switching a camera body to newer model.

Then, you might consider getting your camera cleaned- especially the support mirror cleaning. It should definitely not behave this way. I made some test few weeks ago with my friends DA70 and DFA100WR that he considered broken, and on my camera both was always "on point" no matter what distance was used to test, on his, there was a serious hunting issue. We found that there was some moisture condensation spots left almost on center of his camera support mirror(the small one behind the main mirror), and that was the cause.

Screw drive lenses accuracy depends highly on their mechanical condition, mostly-grease and lubes parameters, that will degrade with age.That can go further to mechanical wear of other parts. If the lens is heavily used- conservation period adviced is no more than 5 years(clean, relube, tighten and adjust) for screw drive lens.

The only significantly faster "modern, big, and top of the line", lenses are recent SP Tamron primes, and those are f1.8 not f1.4 lenses. Tokina lens on Canon might be a bit ahead becouse of faster signal processing for the af measurement.Simmilar conclusion was made by Lenstip.com crew in their relation from cp+, still with bit of typical for them Pentax bashing.
