I'm all for more resolution, but if I need to shoot 9 frames for every panel of a night pano, I'd never finish an image before the sun came up. The foreground would be excruciatingly slow, and I'm guessing that star movement will mess up the compositing algorithm, since either the stars or the landscape (if using a tracker) are moving. Forcing the output to JPG is a non-starter, but it sounds like Canon may be working on that for a future firmware update.
We need a 5Ds replacement, not technologic fakery. If they wanted to give us some technological improvement, they could make focus-stacking usable in the field (e.g. be able to set your distance points manually for multiple pictures, and shoot each set of distances sequentially and automatically, like shooting multiple HDR sequences). They could also remove most of the video capabilities of the R5, and leave all that for the R5c.
Speaking of video, and this is a rant, Canon should make the time-lapse feature usable; the current approach of working through a buried menu (on the VIDEO side!) that is obtuse and asinine is... well, asinine.
