I think that the term "full-frame" is a funny anachronism in the post-film world since it refers to the size of a 35mm film negative, which is irrelevant to the digital world. I also think that all of these crazy names (APS-C, Micro 4/3) for sensor sizes is a bit annoying. Couldn't someone come up with a better naming convention that would allow you to compare sensors easily, perhaps a number based on sensor area?
That said, I think that with the quality of sensors today and the trend towards miniaturization, Micro 4/3 is a large enough size for 95% of the photographers out there so I understand Olympus's direction. They have always been good at being on the forefront of major changes. There's still a need for "full-frame" and larger sensors but it is becoming more and more a niche item.
