My guess is that the CA correction process is Panasonic proprietary and not part of the m4/3 standard like the distortion correction.. Oly could reverse engineer it to work with existing lenses, but there's no assurance that this is future proof.

What if Panasonic invokes a new variable that now gets used in a new lens, and suddenly the Oly calculations get thrown off for that lens? Now they have to issue a firmware update.

Not sure about this. There must be some documentation, otherwise you'll need an update for every (correcting) RAW converter to support new lenses.

CA correction may simply be to hard to implement in Oly's JPEG engine. Does the Oly RAW viewer support CA correction?
