I have been under the impression, for some time now, that CA correction parameters, like barrel distortion parameters, are actually stored in every [m]4/3rds lens and can be easily read by any camera (no need to obtain a lens profile elsewhere).

Panasonic lenses surely have the CA correction info stored in firmware. Whether the same is true about Olympus lenses is hard to tell. They might have put it in but nevertheless abstain from using it or they might have omitted it. But if it's not there already, it's just a matter of a simple firmware upgrade to add it.

And it makes no sense for Olympus to not implement CA because they want to show how crappy Panasonic lenses are optically. All the consumer is going to know is "this camera body produces worse pictures than this body."

Oly's current policy on lateral CA correction makes no sense from any point of view. That's the essence of kenw's concluding comment.
