Lack of up to date pancakes in M43?

I think the Oly 17 1.8 is a bit underrated. It's a beautiful little lens physically (a totally different animal to the relatively cheap looking 45 and 25), and although not in the same league as the pro line lenses for IQ perhaps, still very good indeed, focuses quickly, has nice bokeh and is sharp corner to corner. I'm surprised how often I look at an old photo that I really like and find in the EXIF that I took it with the 17 f1.8. Perhaps the reason they haven't updated it is that they can't make it significantly better than it already is.
