I think the name is important because it signifies no new Leica film cameras, apart perhaps from special editions. That ties in with information in the annual report which suggests all R&D effort/funding is going into digital and sport optics.

Hi Mark,
While you are probably right about new film cameras, they could just as easily produce an M11-film that integrates what they learned on the M8, 9 & 10 in digital......shutter, body molding material, meter circuits....if for no other reason than to use the components across the film/digital great divide in the fabrication process, even for special editions. Your discovery has a nice tie in with your conversation with Andreas Kaufman about his calling it the M8....
