Mike,

I see only one significant change in this latest announcement: the news about Sedna's price and sourcecode availability. Good news, surely.
Everything else is as per the roadmap.
We can agree to disagree- actually to follow my own advice, I have no choice. ;-)
(and yes I have quit editing this so it's safe to respond! ) ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
