That is true, but I think that about the K-3 sensor as well, and most
users seem to think that the K-5 produces better image quality at high
ISO than the K-3.
What I'd hope for in the future, more than most anything else, would
effectively be, a K-5III with an improved ~16mp, (OK Pentax will
probably stuff a 20mp sensor into it's next mid level camera), sensor
and many of the K-3 improvements, (I'd also like to see them leave out a
few of those "improvements" too), That won't happen, but it should.
Pentax even as a division of Ricoh doesn't have the resources to do what
Sony has done with the a7 mirrorless, three cameras with three distinct
characters based on three different sensors.
Currently Pentax seems to be doing that with the K-5IIs and K-3 still
being in the line, but that will last only as long as the remaining
stocks of K-5IIs cameras last. It's place will likely be filled with an
improved K-50 with a 20mp sensor or an upgraded K-s1 with an improved
control interface and maybe a higher Pixel count.
Pentax can't afford to maintain four distinct Camera bodies in it's line
indefinably.

46mp in a 24x36mm sensor seems like they're pushing the ragged edge of
physics.
That's about the same pixel pitch as 24MP in a K-3.
