If they could devise a modular design then you could buy the current camera body/sensor and in the future send the camera back to have the new electronics replaced. The body surely won't be worn out unless it's plastic crap. It's easier for an electronics company to do this - but in the long-term Leica needs to become a lens and sensor-mount company and find a model that doesn't involve redesign every two years of an entire camera. They could, of course, still make insanely great, and insanely expensive, lenses and eventually they'd have the back that could make as full a use of them as film currently can...or more.
