And I've become fond enough of the operational characteristics of the
likes of those micro-four-thirds focus-on-the-screen cameras (when I
want to do SLR-style formally precise composition and focus placement)
that I'd love to see a proper Leica-designed 24x36-sensor version of
that kind of camera.  Well implemented, that could be sweet.

And the turned-on electronic-viewfinder flavor I'm talking about might
well turn off a lover of traditional mirror/groundglass/optical SLRs.
