Hopefully we get a stacked sensor that has a good e-shutter and fast readout.
Unfortunately as the SL3-S did not get a stacked sensor, odds of a technology leap are diminished; unless Panasonic’s next generation S1 changes that.
I think the thing you have to consider ... when you start mixing M lenses with sensors that don't have microlens construction that is optimized for the M lens (which iiuc is the reason the SL3-S retained the "older tech" i.e. matched tech to the lens), you start degrading the M lens optical output experience. I'm not sure that Leica will be keen to do that for the M's with the stacked sensor if it requires a compromise to the optical path.
Folks really have to kinda ask themselves if they are truly wanting an M, and the optics / performance associated with the M ... or, do they want a high tech camera. In some regard, there are certain aspects that are quid pro quo ... trading the ethos of the M for the modern conveniences that are (to varying degree) departures from the M ethos of small form factor / high quality. The stacked sensor (for example, is a hit to IQ) may not align with Leica retaining the ethos of the M.
Looking for the high tech of the stacked sensor ... might be a different model then.
