That would make AF possibly even faster than any in-lens motor system and makes all the legacy glass have AF as well!
The challenge I see is that, apart from wide angle lenses, the sensor wouldn't be able to move anything like far enough! Imagine a 200mm macro range!

Ala Contax with film, it would now be practical on digital. Imagine: set the camera on Infinity and let the sensor do the rest. Or Let the camera do a predictable range focus (much faster) and then let the body finish by adjusting the sensor accordingly.
