OK ... going back to the Q&A Session summary and specifically "R10 and Alternatives" where it definitely states :

' .. no digital SLR aka R10'
'... very important to us, that owners of R lenses can take pictures digitally'
'Definitely it's not going to be a SLR'

Given that there is definitely not going to be a DSLR, can anyone think of any other feasible way of utilizing R lenses on a full frame body other than by using an EVF camera? The only other possible solution I can think of is a pellicle fixed mirror which with a digital sensor might not compromise image quality as much as with a film camera. But it would still need a pentaprism - so the EVF still seems more of a possibility.

Cheers
