Samsung NX roadmap & (possibly) discontinued lenses?

I agree Samsung marketing needs a lot of improvement but I'm not sure if appealing to Galaxy users is the best way to do it. Looking at Canon and Nikon, I think the reason they are successful is because they have the support of pros.
The same seems to be true for mirrorless. For example, Sony wasn't a serious contender until they received accolades from pros for their a6000 and A7x series. I think Samsung should follow the same strategy. It should appeal to pros by adding the features that pros want and marketing aggressively to them (this includes lenses). Developing pro lenses such as the 16-50 and 50-150 is a step in the right direction. If Samsung gains the respect of more pros, the pros will influence hobbyists and casual shooters to move to Samsung.
A lens road map would help. I thought we'd be hearing more about the 300 f/2.8 by now. Actually, a 300 f/4 that is lighter weight would be good enough. Another would be a 55-250 f/4 S lens. I'm a bit worried that NX1 sales haven't been high enough to green light more lens projects & I'm not that sure about the QA on the S lenses since the mount fit is suspect. Pros might be hesitating to endorse until more transparency.
