Actually they *did* have to write one piece of code - the piece that checks to see if a pre-"A" lens is mounted, and won't trip the shutter unless the appropriate Pentax function is set. But that's one small, simple piece of code. Code to support K/M lenses would reqire significantly more code to be written. As there is no mechanical aperture sensor the only functionality that could be provided would be stop-down metering. That's not code that is needed for anything else, so it would have to be specifically written.
the user can turn on if he wants to use manual with non-A lenses.
The very presence of that flag is pretty much proof that they took the attitude "user beware", and probably didn't test this area very much.
