If a new lens mount is introduced, then you can re-examine your brand 
loyalty then!

However I don't think either Canon or Nikon will go that way for a while. 
The advantage of being able to cater for existing customers is just too 
strong.

Olympus OTOH haven't got an AF exchangeable lens film SLR range since 
their attempt bombed in the 80s, so they can feel free to go their own 
way with 4/3rds.
