Not particularly really, the same analogy as film. What made 35mm
usable for more than snapshots kept the quality gap between 35mm and
medium format when those same improvements were applied to medium
format. The same will be true of FF digital cameras vs APS-C the larger
format will gain from the improvements but still offer higher pixel
counts. I also expect that high ISO performance at equal Pixel counts
will still give the edge to FF and MF digital cameras, and I expect to
sensor costs to fall as manufacturing techniques improve.

Good news on both counts. I've been hoping that they'd focus on the
APS-C technology, rather than aiming for a market in which they'd
never be competitive. Furthermore, sticking with APS-C is the best way
to support those of us who've invested heavily in their new lenses and
cameras.

The gist - 645 is not dead, just suspended. Pentax is aiming to
produce FF quality from a APS-C sized sensor, perhaps already in the
spring.
