KurtAugust,
You are right, since everything will be open source, you'll be able to design any type of recording you wish. Could well be anamorphic, crop parts of the sensor, etc...
The limitations here are not artificial (for example dictated by the marketing department) : they are based on the skills and interest of people working on the camera. As always in open source, if your desired feature is acclaimed by a lot of people it will happen sooner. Anamorphic shooting seems like something a lot of people will want.
Atomos Shogun is definitely one of the possible options for recording.
