Interesting how nobody replied to this, which I wrote on Jan. 20th, regarding Benjamin Kanarek's sudden reappearance on dpreview Pentax Forum and PentaxForums.com.
"Makes me wonder if he might not be evaluating an early edition of the Pentax FF (Ricoh trying to win one of their most influential professionals back into the fold). Naturally, with an NDA, he would not be free to speak about that but it might be in his (and Ricoh's) best interests if he became involved in the Pentax community again. </speculation>? Less than three weeks later Pentax confirms development of the full frame. I suspect that features are nailed down more than one might think and that the "artist's rendition" in the other thread is a working prototype (albeit with a 3d printed body) that is already in the hands of some pros who have signed NDAs like Kanarek.
