I would think the M6 users would have the same problem.  Also if you put
the camera away for some period of time, your exposure would almost surely
change as the light level will change, so why not just turn the camera off?
the amount of time it takes to check exposure after turning the camera on
is negligible and since you would have to adjust exposure anyway after a
period of off time, you loose no time prior to shooting in this situation.

Either that, or I am really Igornant. ;-)

Actually it is M6TTL users who are most interested in the Rose switch.
Many people like to leave the exposure set even when bagging the
camera. This does not work well if your TTL has a softie mounted.
