A bit silly, that article. One only has to look at the electrical contacts to realize that there is no room between sensor and contacts to make an FF sensor possible.
Also, he totally ignores the fact that the lens itself has a mount too, which has to fit inside the camera mount. Funny.

Actually I've heard someone say - on Sonyalpharumors.com probably - that the E mount is mechanically very similar to Nikon F mount, to the point that "dumb" stuff like bellows is usable. But don't call me out on that.
Initially there were reports of some hybrid mount of sorts. Who knows, might be a fun idea.
