Really weird and misconceived idea - putting the sensors in the lenses!

Lenses last and rarely become obsolete. Sensors don't and rapidly become obsolete. People change bodies as new features and better sensors are introduced, but keep their lenses. To marry the sensors to the lenses seems to be just plain stupid!
