The reason Panasonic formed the L-Alliance is to distribute out the min. volume required to produce the lenses for its FF cameras, the S-series. I am not sure how many of the "atas" Leica customers willing to settle for L-Mount lenses costing about half the price or original lenses but I doubt there is much demand from Leica. Panasonic should have made provisions to come up with a mount for existing M43 users.
Anyway, I felt the bigger mistake made by Panasonic is they did not have a game plan to penetrate the Full Frame market. Consumers need a compelling reason to move to a new mount as the investment is substantial. Sony has the A7R (61mp and high end photographers and A7S for videographers (prevent roller shutter problem and high ISO). Canon R5 has 8K video. What does Panasonic S-series have? Unless it can use Panasonic M43 lenses., some of which are great for videos!
Hope Panasonic is doing some series soul searching......
