>Theres more to it than that. Having great backwards compatibility may be
considered good when releasing new cameras. However, in the long run it
erodes sales from newer cameras and lenses. Manufacturers build in
obsolence in order to sell more products. A risky strategy but it may pay
well off.

Pentax doesn't seem to have enough new sales and confidence that people
will switch to a new mount to push forward too ambitiously. the huge base
of lenses that work on all K-mount cameras is a liability as well as an
advantage.
