Some are claiming most lenses are good enough to make use of a 36 meg sensor:

A 36-megapixel sensor will resolve around 75 lp/mm. Even mediocre 35mm lenses will hit 75 lp/mm at some aperture over some portion of their field of view. This is true of both fixed focal length and zoom lenses.

Of course many people will want new glass to go with their new camera, and try and maximize the resolution of their system.
