I haven't seen anything but speculation so far in this thread without any official word from Apple. 

And that is exactly the problem.

If nothing is changing with Darwin and they're simply not ready yet with the x86 tree, it should be pretty easy for Apple to confirm one way or the other, don't you think? 

On who's timetable?

I guess the expectation is that Apple execute *everything* on day 1... all dev announcements... etc.

We've certainly seen Apple (in the past) not be ready with developer materials at launch time.... and it seems the larger the transition the harder it is for Apple to have this stuff ready on day 1.

That's been the pattern ever since I can remember (and I've been developing Mac software since fall of 84).

Would an announcement from Apple help.

Most certainly.

Is the lack of one justification for people concluding that Apple is ending their open source approach.

Not in the slightest.

Of course, speculation will always run rampant when there's a lack of announcement... but everyone should recognize it as just that.... speculation.
