One of the main promises of Micro Four Thirds is compact cameras.
With APS-C sensor size of 25.1 x 16.7 mm (versus 4:3's 18 x 13.5 mm) making a compact camera would be a some challenge.
And it's not that there is a vendor neutral lens mount standard for APS-C. Four Thirds won many - not by technical superiority - by being open and relatively vendor neutral.
P.S. And if the new mount would take couple of years to mature, than it might be already too late: new sensors constantly in development with lower noise levels. If something like that would happen withing couple of years, than any lens mount would have a problem competing with Four Thirds. I'm not a fanboi of Four Thirds, all I'm trying to say that Samsung has a long road ahead and with very high probability - road to nowhere.
