We don't "act" on "demands", Simon. We consider input from /many/
sources in determining what course to take.

Nick, this is very very unfair. You know that due to the NDA I've
undersigned, I'm not able to defend myself on this topic.

Simon -- you chose a course. You could have chosen a different course.

Nick, in direct comparsion, without implying that you are working
on unannounced changes to the communicated roadmap - which roadmap do
you think is better for DevCo and your customers - your current
public one, or the one I've proposed?

I think that you have a limited view of things, and that you've made
some reasonable points based on that limite view.I think that we are
constantly re-evaluating our roadmap based on customer input. I think
that you provided valuable information that will become part of all the
input we get. I think that the course we ultimately take will be based
on what you and others have said here, as well as a lot of other input
from many other customers and from many other sources. I think that
the decision making process has quite a bit more factors involved with
it than the people here are aware of.
