Not going to happen.

Shouldn't happen, actually. Leica specifically asked all who used the 
pre-production cameras not to post photos or make qualitative 
comments about them other than in the very broadest sense, nor to 
make comments/judgements about any of the other issues affected by 
firmware. The finalization of the firmware will make all present 
evaluations and judgements meaningless, but the judgements will still 
hang around to muddy people's perceptions.

See what people's reactions have been to the posted and shortly 
pulled 'tests and comparisons' on Erwin Put's site.
