even when shimano made Dura-Ace 10 pitch, they made two sets of cogs - ones that screw onto DA 10P hubs, and ones that screw onto normal hubs. Why? because it's extremely risky to deviate from market standards and make a product that's not compatible with the rest of the gear that exists. there's talk of "solutions without problems," and unlike some other developments, this is one of them.

*hyperbole.
