This pretty much describes my own experience. One thing though is the realization how much "pure" Pentax photos I have. For a while I used a Tokina zoom as my walk around and some of my best shots were taken with that lens. Recently I have been using a Sigma lens and those cannot be submitted as well. So way over half my "inventory" were not even submitted.
