It's too much work for too little benefits for their perceived audience. As I said, they will probably do Live view and video. The new "M" does have a LED illuminated framelines. So the M-E, being a successor to M-9 and without liveview/video, is arguable the true successor to the original M. The new "M" is more like the M5, or really a M-nextgen. That 100 grams will make some Leica users complain....
