Pentax mirrorless SLR

I couldn't find a thread that specifically touched upon the issue of whether people on this forum would like to see a mirrorless DSLR, so I thought I'd ask it here. There's been a few threads on whether people would like to see a full frame Pentax DSLR, I know, and I think that's an interesting subject also and one that is certainly relevant, in light of the Sony A7, to any discussion of a mirrorless Pentax DSLR. Personally, I'd like to see a mirrorless DSLR because I appreciate a smaller-sized camera. Whilst the K series is already compact compared to the competition, it could still do with being a shade lighter yet. What I'd ideally like to see is something the size of the A7 only with a larger grip and larger battery. I'd also like to see some new smaller primes for any such system. Compact lenses are critical I think as with the A7 the system's compactness is somewhat negated by the sheer size of the actual lenses, so much so that a Pentax DSLR with a Pentax lens attached is probably much the same size as it, if not even smaller. I'd also like to see any such system being full framed, but that's not something I feel especially strongly about and the sensor in the K3 is more than adequate.
