Doesnt sound that logical to me unless its removable. DA lenses are generally small and light (compared to 35mm) and I really dont see why they would want to add weight to the lens all the time for that, especially in light of AS technologies. With regards to the NEED for the tripod mount, its not only the focal length or effective focal length that matters, its also whether the lens itself has too much weight and too far away center of gravity from the cameras tripod mount and this is still only a 250mm slow lens which would seem marginal to me for really needing a tripod mount in the first place.

The 60-250 is rumoured to be delayed further because final version would get tripod mount (sounds ligical for these focal length - 375 mm equiv.)
