Why K7 and then K5?

Well who knows if the "K" range will even see another model, we may be surprised yet again. As for numerical ordering, both the Z and MZ series numbers went down as the models went up, although the MZ-S should really have been the MZ1, and the *ist has been the topic of debate since the camera was released, given that the * lenses are refered to as "star" then it would be logical to assume that Pentax's first (production) DSLR would be refered to as a Starist

Something like "those are the numbers that Canon uses for its high-end pro-sumer models, so we (Pentax) need to make people think that our cameras are their equivalents"?
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

* Why is the number in reverse order? I mean, what will happen after the K5? K3, K1 and then?
* Do they actually mean the - in between K and number as "minus"? Then it makes perfect sense. But who would name their cameras with negative numbers? (immediately thinking "who would name their cameras *ist?")
* What happened to the K6?
