Why not go for Bigger then, after all , Nikon is making a line of lenses for it , which are Incompatible with the F-mount, sure, there`s an adapter to couple F Lenses to that Zorro outfit, but Not the other way around..there`s a 24-70 F zoom,and now there`s a 24-70 Z zoom,...what ?..the F zoom can be mounted by means of the Adapter,... that indicates that they`re duplicating the F lenses ..it is Clear to me that Nikon is Sorely Lacking in Competent leadership,..this coming from a person who´s been a Nikoneer for over Four decades, I have pre-Ai lenses ( vintage now ) that were spankin` brand new when I bought them, ....and when the 1 series came out I could see the idea of coming out with a mini camera/lens line , a small..lightweight system ..that delivered Quality close to the Real thing..there`s a site where among other things Photographic Dynamic Range of many makes can be compared , there can be seen how f.ex. the 1 V2 compares to the D1....:

As for that Df, it is its Compatibility I was Referring to, but with a skimpy battery and a flimsy batterydoor that , according to several reports broke easily, indicating it was built half-heartedly,..after all , a Nikon is Not supposed to break,...\" Nikon brings the picture home \" , I do remember that slogan..and my Nikon`s always have.
So why a Bigger diameter flange for the same sensor size, as can be easily seen, the F-flange can cope with f 0.95 speeds....but perhaps Nikon has an f 0.5 lens in the making ?...now that would be nice, yet it seems to me that the whole Z thing is a hap-haZard adventure..
If , Nikon has some new mirrorless camera technology up their sleeve, then why not with the F-mount ?...
The comment that is expressing concerns about incorporating wi-fi and geo tagging , does not take into consideration that such technology has been unaltered , ...the problem is with the expensive add-ons that were made to be compatible with a particular model only, yes, new standards have been introduced , But without making the old standards obsolete....the GPS I bought Ten years ago gets updated every year for a modest fee...my phone updates for free...even my METZ flashes can be updated ...for Free , ....all of those things can be done without resorting to a New flange.
There are those that can shed light on this better than I can , f.ex. :
