It's correct to say that some will always be sad for the priorities in a new system. I also understand that long teles couldn't be a priority at the beginning, because there was no AF on par. But at least Sony could have described a detailed roadmap earlier - e.g. "dear customers, there won't be long teles for FE mount until 201?". And if there won't be info in the next released roadmap, well, I don't see excuses now.
But I'm not talking only about Sony: I mentioned Tamron and Sigma. They could just propose versions of their lenses with an updated mount, without changing the optical design. They'd perform on par with their current lenses + A/E-mount converter. After all, it's what Samyang does.
BTW, Sigma has even retracted the A-mount version of their latest 150-600mm...
