Expect it not to. Pre-flash based TTL and Auto-Thyristor flash are both
more reliable with Digital than plain TTL. It's remarkable that TTL ever
worked with the *ist's (the only other recent DSLR to support TTL flash
was the Fuji S2 Pro, all others use a pre-flash based system like E-TTL,
iTTL, D-TTL or whatever KM called theirs).
In other words, TTL is dead.

Crippled or not.
If the new 10 MP Pentax body doesn't support ordenary TTL flash, I won't be
buying it.
I have too many flashes - I guess 7 or 8 TTL flahses, one of which is a Metz
60-CT2.

I understand your disappointment; it is one of the reasons I prefer
the DS body. However, for the newcomer to SLR cameras who is going to
buy new flash equipment along with body and lens, I imagine it isn't
even a consideration. "Crippled" is kind of a strong word ... If you
bought a DL and the appropriate AF360FGZ (or Sigma EF 500 DG Super)
flash unit, the system is anything but crippled.
For my own use, although I prefer to have the potential capability in
the DS body, I don't own any dedicated flash unit. I use a generic,
inexpensive Sunpak 383 and a couple of Paterson ELite flash panels.
The Sunpak has its own exposure metering and does a great job with
flash metering, beyond that I use a flash meter to measure things and
set the ISO/aperture/exposure time accordingly. A different way of
working with flash, yes.
One of these days I'll get a dedicated flash unit too, I imagine. I
just haven't seen the need as yet.
