1) 12mm/f2 still gives ridiculously deep depth of field, roughly equivalent to 24mm/f4 lens on Full Frame Cam.

As Klaus mentioned, why compare a tiny, light lens directly with a much larger, heavier system, as if the depth of field is the only difference between the 2 systems?
In addition, exactly what type of wide angle photography benefits from having super shallow depth of field? Upon thinking about my own wide angle work, can't recall when I wanted to use a super wide angle lens, in order to include much more of the world in a given image, *and* also wanted to have all that extra world be super blurred/out of focus.
Could you post a link to some photo you like that has real shallow depth of field, where thank goodness the background or foreground was real blurry, that could have only been taken with a 24mm wide angle lens?
Otherwise it seems like you are reaching for negatives about the micro four thirds 12mm lens, complaining about something that is technically correct (u4/3 wide angles have more depth of field than 35mm wide angles), but misleading because unimportant.
