I don't think they need to make a new lens mount for interchangeable lenses in this category. But other than that, I think this could be a great thing depending on implementation.
We all understand that you won't be able to cram all the superior attributes of a large DSLR into a compact camera. But it's a good start to just try to implement an APS-C sized sensor into a more compact camera system. For god sakes, they have to start somewhere in order to get to the future of higher quality, large sensor compact cameras. I do think it's probably a better idea at least at first to focus on a fixed lens design where they can maximize the speed and quality of the autofocus, metering, and EVF and minimize size and cost. It would be awesome in the future to be able to have a large full-frame DSLR and a much smaller, lighter compact with a APS-C sensor.
