Olympus 100mmF2.0, when?

Am I the only person that would like OM to build the big brother of the 75mm F1.8? I'm thinking something like a 100-125mm F2.0, small, nice, and bright.

I would use this lens for action photography in poorly lit stadiums at night. But I'm sure others could use it for wildlife photography in the evenings and such when the light is poor.

I'm aware that OM has essentially given up on sports photography, leaving this field to the big three.... and it makes sense.

But creating a 200 mm F2 equivalent lens that is a quarter of the size of other FF options should be appealing to some. Actually, such a lens would probably not even be possible in FF. The closest thing that I can find is the Fuji XF 200F2.0 (for APSC) and that lens already requires a crane to move around.

Such a lens would provide something that no other platform can do and I'm sure that there would be lots of photographers wanting to have a bright prime 200mm eq lens they can actually carry around. Isn't this what M43 is all about?
