CA rectilinear UWA prime (8, 9 or 10mm) is the biggest hole in the lineup IMO. Make it a pancake f2 or faster, and I'll be plunged into full-on GAS mode.

I agree that Micro 4/3rds really needs an AF AND weather-sealed 10mm BUT NOT with such a bright aperture which is not a good idea on an UWA

giving a f2.0 max aperture would make the lens heavy , large and expensive . And this does not stop here . with such an large aperture diffraction would then hit even earlier

Most people need high IQ between 4.5 and f8 for such  a lens and lots of people want this as a travel lens .

so I think an aperture of 2.8 or even better 3.5 would be FAR more balanced  option
