 There's no concern that having it fail the process now might hurt things 
 later when there actually is a need for it?

 I don't intend to vote no; I probably just won't vote on that one at all. 
 The only reason I'd want a Leica is to be able to use that swanky 50mm f/1 
 lens (especially with an APS-size sensor), but I'll instead just hold out 
 hope that Nikon will someday make one. :) 
  
 But, I think it's worth pointing out that "build it and they will come" 
 doesn't really work on Usenet.
