Why not?
A crop 2,5 system would fill the (huge) gap between 4/3" and 1/1,7" sensors.
Maybe it#s possible to make a really small system with such a sensor size and this would make a nice travel camera. In my opinion even my camera with a 10 year old 5MP 2/3" sensor design makes quite good pictures at ISO 100 and a modern design 10-12MP crop 2,5 sensor should make good ISO 100 pictures and decent ISO 400 pictures and grainy but somehow useable ISO 1600 pictures. A travel camera wouldn't need more in my opinion.
I could even imagine a 2/3" system, only the Pentax Q with that ultra tiny 1/2,3" looks not promising enough to me (I have never seen a good ISO 100 picture from a 1/2,3" sensor)
