When Sigma or Tamron introduce RF mount lens, they are most likely be the same as their Song FE lens with just a mount and AF electronic changed? Will you miss the control ring?

At least for now, I still have not find a good usage for the control ring. I just got my R5 recently though.

Let's assume 3rd parties will have better lenses for less. One thing I value dearly is weather sealing, now that drive-by-wire manual focusing ring should be running in the same (programmable) direction. Maybe it is still possible to have a mechanical focus drive in RF mount that runs the wrong way?
