It could be, but if this is an upgrade to the K-S1, what dose that mean
about the K-S1? Is it now gone too? That would give it the shortest
production life of a camera I can remember even in the digital age.

You might want to visit the PDML archives as I remember this issue was
discussed a bit, earlier.
Relatively modern Pentax lenses inform the body about their
identity. Bojidar Dimitrov's site can be of help for this, I think.
The camera firmware includes a database of all those lenses.
That depends on the hole...
