So looking at the thread over on the main rumors site, one would get the impression that all our 16MP sensors will stop working in January and Fuji is utterly doomed if they don't use a 28MP sensor...
Honestly, I can't understand why pixel peepers of that sort are even using a 4/3 camera. If the megapixel race is so important, they should be saving up for the Nikon D5 or buying the high end Sony.
One of the reasons I went to Fuji was to get out of the megapixel race, as well as shedding the weight of full frame gear.
I also dumped full frame due to old glass not keeping up with the newer sensors. I hope that all those hoping for huge increases in megapixels realize that older glass doesn't always hold up to higher density sensors.
While more megapixels have benefits, there are drawbacks....
Ok, back off my soapbox...
