And right on cue, here is OlympusUK announcing on Facebook (of all places!)
that there is another 4/3 body in the works (unless the phraseology is very
very cunning)
"BREAKING NEWS!!
Olympus working on new body for top-pro lenses
Akira Watanabe, manager of Olympus Imaging's SLR planning department,
confirmed today that the company is definitely working on a body to deliver
the focusing performance expected by users of the Top Pro lens series like
the ground breaking 90-250 f2.8 fixed aperture zoom.
Watanabe has been delighted with the success of the OM-D which has pushed
the boundaries of performance for system cameras but acknowledged that it
did not deliver with the legacy high end lenses from the E-System. Whilst
further information wasn't forthcoming, he was keen to emphasise that
Olympus is actively developing a solution and will announce more details in
due course."

Specifically, I am often amazed at statements made here and on photo blogs
about how camera companies are doing, and reflect total ignorance.
