Totally insane if you ask me. They can't remotely stand the pressure from Canon, Nikon and Sony. They would have to develop ALL zoom lenses from scratch just to mention the most obvious nightmare. All based on a niche within a ~15% full format niche. Harakiri. They could go for training on this job over at Olympus.
The rumors about an APS-C mirrorless system make MUCH more sense to me. Imagine a tiny camera and all the Pentax expertise with pancakes. In a developing market segment. Now that would be something.

So the niche to cover would be to offer a FF module for the ricoh mirrorless camera ;-)
and lenses could come gradually.. like on the 645d
