Pretty cool. But the first question in my mind is why such function is to be applied (first) to the E-M5 Mk II. Why
not the E-M1 Mk II?

And 'cause Oly has for the history of µ4/3 cycled upgrades through the different levels of their bodies, although not
always exactly in order. That means that new features are often in lower levels first. The E-M5 is now the oldest level,
so next due for update.
As I think about it, I think the 40 MP thing doesn't make sense. It seems to mean a much higher base pixel count and/or
greater sensor movement than I would think the current system does. Haven't worked out all the details ... But a quick
calculation shows getting 40 MP through shifting the E-M5 sensor requires about 10 mm of side to side movement of the
sensor and 7.4 mm up and down.
There sure doesn't look to be room for that in the E-M5 body. Just eyeballing the sensor movement as I move the camera
so the loose sensor carrier when the camera is off moves to it's stops, I'd say little more than 1 mm, side to side, say
250 to 300 pixels.
I hope they don't go crazy on MP. I'd rather see the same or a modest increase
together with better noise characteristics.
