Fuji GFX digital rangefinder is a possibility (plus a Leica M10/Fuji GFX poll)

In a recent interview with dpreview, Fuji representative mentioned that a Fuji GFX based digital rangefinder is a possibility (see the already discontinued Fuji GF670 film medium format rangefinder):

Could these same benefits be applied to medium format, we asked. ‘Of course it could be an idea for medium format,’ says Oishi: ‘it depends on demand and the market.
