No sympathy for Canon, this is really bad.
While I understand the need for the new R mount specifications, Canon should at least have the decency to make the M flange distance the same as the R to maintain compatibility, give customers an upgrade path and protect lens investment.
I can't believe they never thought about that when designing the M series.
Gonna keep my M gear, but my next body purchase will be other brand.

I am sure they thought about it.  IMO, they don't see a long term future for the M line.  I think the EF-M mount will be replaced by a unified RF mount and Canon will follow Sony's example by making crop lenses work natively on FF and crop sensor bodies alike.  Heck, I doubt there will be any difference in the mount for crop and FF R cameras.
