Ursa Cine 17K and Fuji GF Lenses?

I know that the Hasselblad X mount is in the cards for the Ursa Cine 17K. Any chance that Fuji GF lenses could also be supported or has that door been closed?

GF Lenses

-Exception quality
-Less expensive that Hasselblad X
-Tilt shift + Telephoto Offerings
-A few faster lenses, such as 55mm F/1.7 and the legendary 110mm F/2.0
-Wide angle zoom - 20-35mm is incredible

I know that Fuji touts the video capabilities of the GFX cameras and I worry they wouldn't want somebody else in their proprietary space. However, I can't take a camera that offers aliasing/moiré (line skipping/pixel binning?) seriously for video in this day and age.

Ideally both mounts are supported and the best lens for the job can be picked.

Focus by wire, so very limited use IMHO.

17K Footage is oriented towards crews. An AF Photolens would be a problem.

If Hasselblad is too expensive and you might consider something vintage, I'd rather look for medium format lenses by Konica, Mamiya, Zenza Bronica, or Pentax. They had some great glass.
Even the Soviets had their Kiev.

I think XCD lenses are also focus by wire?

But I hear you. Would just be great to use my pile of GF lenses and consolidate, but I understand the downsides.
