If all the R glass becomes redundant, so does the red dot! Leica is between a rock and a hard-place.

Firstly, I merely feel that Leica is more likely to achieve success selling an R10 with traditional R features to traditional R users, than by throwing that market aside to make an ill-fated attempt at capturing a segment of the Canon/Nikon market.
Secondly, if Leica "ditched" the R format it would have little to no effect on the success or failure of the M system or of Leica as a company. As long as there are adaptors to other bodies, R glass will never become completely redundant, but even if it did, the collective tears of every devout R user on earth wouldn't fill a tankard.
