Sony A7000 (+ X-PRO2?) with better dyamic range than the Full Frame A7 series thanks to native “on sensor HDR”! src-SAR

_{YES!!!   :D}

This concept is not possible with X-Trans. You can't just skip 2 lines with X-Trans, you'd have to skip 6 lines. That's a pretty large exposure gap, and it would also need a different sensor design.

This is basically what Magic Lantern does to the 5D Mark III. They call it Dual ISO I believe - they have alternating lines of a higher ISO for proper exposure and a lower ISO for cleaner images. It seems to work well, albeit at a lower resolution than the sensor natively outputs.

 

I think it's a cool idea, but it's not a priority for me. The dynamic range on the newer Fuji sensors is already amazing.

Also last time I tried out the magic lantern you needed a separate piece of software to actually deal with the images and video. I can imagine for a camera to do this it would need to be quite powerful.

I would prefer bayern high HDR sensor instead of X-trans. In your x-m1 vs x-a1 comparison x-trans showed no significant advantage over Bayer. And this new technology seems to show serious DR increase.

Maybe X-Trans version 3 will have DR improvements.
