[Leica] LEICA could be clever

My guess is they are about halfway there, so if they can hang in there 
for another year, we may be in luck.
I'm convinced that a lot of the R-Module guts, software and the sensor 
could be carried over. Engineering the body should almost be the 
easiest part for them, they already have the RF, mount and a good part 
of the metering system.
I'm guessing the cloth shutter will go to the great darkroom in the sky.
