With digital they could use the existing contacts or for that matter the power zoom contacts and piggyback a signal on it and not compromise current functionality, (OK I did notice the pun).

Fascinating point. I really doubt that Pentax would tell anyone what the real reasons are. But I'd be interested in what they *say* the reasons are ;-)
As I've said before, I think Pentax has plans for electrical contacts (for USM, electronic aperture control, etc.) in places where the "aperture simulator" is located on the original K mount, and they're trying to wean us off it gradually. ("weaning" being a very appropriate turn of phrase given the nature of much of the complaining!)
