even worse when Pentax would release FF DSLR :-(

That's not good so far, at least for newcomers who are still building
Yes, it is reality, with stanrard lens:

I think we can be sure that integrated Pentax 645D using similar
sized CCD would be even cheaper... Now if only Hoya would allow
Pentax team to release 645D...

Looks tiny, weighs only 140 grams. Might be great as a
general street photography lens on K10D. Add a 50/1.4

DA 21 looks like a great, althought not as great as 31 lens. Here

it's more than just about lenses, noise and sensor sizes. Ergonomics

Not quite true. There are still contacts telling body about lens'
aperture range and enabling matrix metering and P-TTL + wireless flash.

I saw 60-250/4 at Photokina and it is not small lens. It is about
size of Sigma EX 70-200/2.8 that I had, just with 67 mm filter.
60-250 with constant f4 aperture just can't be small, no matter what
image circle it produces.
