When times comes, this will be done. However there is little need for rush right now.

It is you who is speculating and spreading arround things that are not accurate. There is a way of getting support for non-security hotfixes beyond 2009 and microsoft is quite clear about that, but that is not what you (and others) said. It is damaging enough that VFP is on the end of its lifecycle, but spreading more FUD really should not be neccesary should it ?
