Is the new Heliar available in threadmount?

A new 50mm collapsable in threadmount seems hard to find. Even if the Heliar
is threadmount I understand you have to buy a body to get the lens.

Leica should look at producing the Anastigmat on the O in threamount. Given
the modern lenses they produced in threadmount didn't sellout all that well
I suspect Leica has said never again.
