The sentence I found most interesting:
These products are designed for exclusive use with
PENTAX K- and *istD-series digital SLR cameras.
So they *do* intend to keep old-style focussing ability (the
so-called screwdriver drive) as well as SDM. That's nice to
know - I intend to hang onto a *ist-D as a backup body, even
when I get round to buying a K10D.
