What do you base that on?

There is no confusion.  The original Contax mount will not have any more
lenses developed for it, but they will continue to sell existing design
lenses, and the new Contax autofocus mount is having new lenses designed and
the have more coming out as we speak.

The film cameras are not abandoned at all, the NX and N are easily
available, and superb cameras, as is the Aria and the new RX II (which was
just announced).  You can still buy an RTS III new I believe.
