Appeal to Fujifilm regarding the camera to be released soon

According to fujirumors.com, a site with a great trackreckord of publishing specs on to be released Fujifilm stuff, there is an upcoming camera with the missleading name of x-e3.

This great little camera, to be released very soon, is sadly not the next camera in the x-e line.
Why?
  • It will have a touch screen replacing several of the much needed buttons that can be assigned for direct access to useful features for photography.
  • New imporvement focuses on stuff that makes the camera more like a mainstream Sony trinket than a photographers tool. 
This will make the camera appeal well to the marketing department of Fujifilm and hopefully make Fujifilm a lot of money,  which is fine and well. But please don't forget that the photographers who bought your x-e1 and x-e2, we were overjoyed by eventually finding a small tool that walks and talks like a camera and takes pictures like a camera. We were quick to abandon feature burdened toys with great specs and big DSLR:s of other brands once you provided us that. It made us into better photographers and it directed our money away from your competitors into your coffins.

Please Fujifilm, even if you can't afford to keep making cameras for us, at least don't shove it up our behinds! If you want to make an x-m2, fine, but please name it so and let the x-e line lay in wait for better times to come!

The camera is not released yet, there is still time to fix this.
