Leica M10 with new sensor

Lumiouns Landscape guys talking about the 24mp Dalsa CCD 35mm full frame sensor as a potential sensor for a rumored Leica M10,

As said by Josh-H (Sr. Member)

What application can this sensor have? Clearly its not for Canon or Nikon, or even Sony for that matter. Its a CCD sensor for a start.

Looking closely at the specifications it becomes obvious to both of us that this can probably only be a sensor for the Leica M10?
