I have a gut feeling that the Bayer CFA could get burnt unevenly off the 
sensor surface, leading to some funky looking images.
Or it could just burn a hole into the sensor, just like the shutter of a 
Pellix.

I did half-heartedly Google for the answer, but couldn't find a 
definitive website that would say one way or the other (metal or cloth).
