Doubt it, Charlie. Leica is intensely interested in photographers. 
You must remember that Leica is a manufacturer, and, as such, can't 
continue to exist unless they keep the production line running. 
Without the photographers using their gear and literally wearing it 
out, the production mill would grind to a halt. Making commemoratives 
alone is seldon a successful strategy for a manufacturer.
