Just the getting the A lenses to work requires extra software, getting K/M
lenses to work requires extra hardware.

Honestly I'd be VERY suprised if they went to the trouble of getting -A
lenses to work on the camera without taking the tiny extra step to have
K and M lenses work properly.
All they really need is feedback from the aperture ring and the ability
to simply stop the lens all the way down on shutter release.
Why be so pessimistic about it?
