Just a note, but when Pentax switched from M42 to K mount, they
essentially did the same thing. All auto-aperture M42 lenses are
stop-down only on K mount bodies, despite being auto-aperture on M42
bodies that supported the feature. So the current situation with the
all-electronic K mount to mechanical lenses is akin to that switch 30
years ago.

it does. The issue goes far beyond this particular K/M support,
the issue becomes a matter of trust with pentax on everything
they sell now or in the future because this is unprecedented
with them because it the past they never did anything even remotely like
this
and now they are unreliable with regards to product support
and even very expensive well made products like their best top line K/M
lenses are being intentionally disregarded with regards to their
intended KEY BASIC features WITHOUT VALID CAUSE and without any
gain to the customer let alone any substantial gain. It's all loss....
