as opposed to many of of the people on this list who have urged to others go 
ahead and buy the M8 or mM.2.

Me, I'm a flipping school teacher. Having committed myself to a life of 
service rather than personal gain, my disposable income is almost 
negligible. If I ever buy a new Leica body it's going to be, by god, THE 
Leica body I'm committed to for whatever life I have left - I can't afford 
to do otherwise. Advice that I go ahead and buy whatever new M is available 
now because I'll really really like it and can upgrade later just pisses me 
off. The people who dis Leitz here are the people who see Leitz's product 
development in real-world terms.

Will I ever buy another Leica body? Yes, but only if they produce one that 
doesn't require me to re-format and rethink all the glass I own. If that 
puts me outside their targeted marketing schema, then to hell with them.
