I think they may still have to end up replacing the back.  Otherwise
how-else can they link the CCD to the external unit?  The previous
"film canister replacement" unit was completely inside the camera
body and so there is no need to get anything out of the body.  But
if this one has to talk to an external unit, then there must be some
connection, unless it is via some broadcast signal (and broadcasting
from inside a completely metal body is also problematic).

Is it? Surely bridging a distance of less than an inch would not be too difficult with a suitable design, especially for cameras with cloth shutters -- cloth and glass don't do much to impede RF, so the signal should make it out of the body easily enough.
