those positions may be 'hard wired' on the E-M5

Nothing is hard wired, it would all be done by firmware. So it would be possible to add the MySets feature to any camera with a dial.... but.... firmware space limitations, cost of reworking the firmware, loss of sales on newer bodies, marketing and sales going tut,tut! would all conspire to see that not too many nice things are added to an old camera.

I wouldn't mind seeing a MySets control tab in the SCP

Far more important would be to have more MySets (12 would be nice), being able to name them and be able to save and restore them to card or PC. I can do that with my Casio pocket camera, why can't a "better" camera do it?
