Leica needs to go back to its roots... do the same thing they did before, they invented 35mm photography out of a need to take pictures without having a team of porters carrying all that large format equipment.

Leica needs to appraise the market and say we can do this better.

There is a huge market for high quality small, quiet, discreet cameras. This is something Leica can solve and they would have the market to themselves.

There is a real need for better image quality in the DSLR market (thus everyone trying to equip "alternative" lens onto Nikon and Canon. Leica could solve this.

If the solutions to these problems are not the R and M series, fine, leave them for dead and move on. I would be sad if there was no M, but I would feel worse if there was no Leica option.

Maybe its time to build an M like camera but a different M camera, one that will drive Leica for the next 50 years...

Just my 2 cents
