With the advent of SSM lenses, I am sure Pentax want to get rid of AF motor from camera body which will give them more room to work with, and possibly reduce required stiffness to cope with torque, and perhaps another major (electronic) noise source. With so many legacy lenses, I doubt they can do it, but there might be a new line of bodies in the future without AF motor, much like Canon AND Nikon D40. There has been an undercurrent effort to eliminate mirror and prism etc, and the legacy concept of SLR which every maker has been confined to and dragged from 35mm SLR era might change dramatically sooner than we think :-).
