I agree that LiveView or EVF would change the M DNA fundamentally. The
entire concept of the RF is that you can see outside the frame.

I disagree on the sensor cleaning system.It would be just one of the those
if they put it in, people would love it, and they wonder what all the fuss
is about. Remember, there is no negative impact on the performance. There is
hardly any space in there for sure, so it may be technically impossible, but
we can dream.

IS for an M is probably less useful. Most people can shoot an M @ 1/30th and
some can even go as low as 1/15th or even 1/8th, so and IS would not improve
much there.
