I actually worry about panasonic as a camera manufacturer now simply because they burned a lot of R&D into the L-mount

Adding additional bodies is far less R&D than building the first body. Since they already had a strong m43 line-up, it probably was a relatively small amount of R&D to build the L mount cameras (and they were getting paid to provide L mount firmware, electronics, and parts for years before that, for another L mount vendor).

So the L mount is probably not printing piles of money for Panasonic, but (outside of opportunity cost) it's probably not losing them much, either.
