They say the holes are sealed but could be pried open, but they are not sure if the contacts are there (they see metal protrusion or something). I do not know what sort of seal it is but someone described it "peel off" or something. I guess what's happening is that the mount component is shared between K100D and K10D but those two contacts are disabled for K100D. Speculation (with some wishful thinking) is that these are definitely for USM (which is pretty well accepted as the fact over there) and when USM lenses do come out, K100D users could bring it to the service centres for the activation (which I sort of doubt. It's a lot of qty and clog the service centres). Why doe Pentax have to do such an elaborate thing? I'm sure K10Ds will have these activated :-).
