What if XF18-55 was redesigned for compatibility with XF1.4X TC?

What if the XF18-55 was redesigned for compatibility with XF1.4X TC? That would allow conversion to a XF25-77 at a cost of, maybe, 1.5-2.5 stops making the kit zoom somewhere around f3.3 to f6.5 with the converter. Add in WR and newer OIS and focus linear motors for the mark 2 kit lens.

 

Short of making another fast zoom between the current XF18-55 and XF-55-200, or just using the XF18-135, would the option to add the smaller tele-converter and roll in a few additional updates entice you to trade your current kit lens for a new version?

 

Please pardon the odd question.

I'd prefer 16-80 f4 instead.
