<Spock voice>So, you believe it's "logical". Fascinating... </Spock voice>
I think having one finger control my shutter speed with the front wheel, and my thumb control the aperture using the rear wheel is AT LEAST as "logical". Why burden both hands with controlling shutter and aperture, when just one will suffice? ;)
I started shooting with film cameras, back in 1979. Naturally, I used aperture rings all the time then, and I didn't have any problems. However, I don't miss them at all on my new Pentax K-30. If the new FF Pentax provides a similar degree of backwards compatibility as my K-30, I think everything will be fine.

Having the aperture ring on the lens is logical. It divides up tasks more evenly between the operators two hands. With the aperture control on the lens it helps the mind grasp what you're controlling.
