But in this case it would be quite funny... I mean, every piece of equipment with a processor and an electronic interface can easily provide for firmware upgrade - the only reason for not doing that is when there are security implications. For what concerns Nikon, a problem might be in the fact that they are maintaining a legacy connector in the mount, but when they upgraded the thing to accommodate the electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism - I mean, introducing an incompatibility with older camera bodies - they should have taken the opportunity for firmware upgrade as well.
