Cine lenses would be nice though, with the current chip crisis the GH6 was always likely to be a vaporware announcement anyhow. I'd love it it they can support linear focussing on more lenses with lens&body firmware releases, it's very small selection they've been able to address so far.

Highly suspect this is the case. With all the semiconductor shortages right now my hope is they're finding GH6 spec components are further out that they expect so straight replacing the GH5 doesn't work, meanwhile to be able to manufacture the GH5 it makes sense to switch out some of the innards to parts that are easier to get (maybe overlap with G9 etc). I'm in the same boat is many of you, with a selection of high speed M4/3 primes, plus the 8-18, 12-35, 35-100, 100-400 - very few of these are easy to replace in the full frame world even if money was no object. (I take that back - hadn't realized just how many lenses were out in L mount now, if I sold both my cars I probably could replace them all, would struggle to get around on foot with all that glass though)
