I guess the reason would be different for everyone but, personally speaking, the main reason I'd like to see a 4.x firmware running on a K3 would be to possibly allow access to the new KF8 format.

From what I'm hearing, which admittedly isn't a lot, it sounds like the K3 probably won't be included in the "latest" generation to get KF8 format capability. Of course, none of the K4s have it at this point either, so I guess it's a moot point.
