Especially given the last paragraph...

If it's just about reallocating factory capacity to more profitable product lines, then hopefully there's enough room left to keep the K mount stuff on track.

I may be wrong, but the wording used in that particular article is rather poor. More of a 'lets cause a stir', then anything else.

Stop the internet, I want to get off.
We shall see what the future holds as it unfolds, but I won't be letting ifs and maybes affect what I want to use now. Even if it was all packed up there is more than enough stock in circulation to keep me going as long as needed.
Very interesting article, thanks for the link.
That's exactly a great number of us will feel John. If never buy anything else I have sufficient to keep me going.
I always felt they were a bit late coming to the Full Frame market

The Japanese company will radically review a production and manufacturing strategy centered on cameras for the retail market, including such brands as Pentax and GR. Options include withdrawing from this segment altogether.
