Unfortunately, maintaining the ObjC/EOF APIs does not have an ROI

What's the ROI on being a reliable vendor that can be trusted to keep
promises?
Can you name a single vendor in the marketplace that hasn't broken a
few promises to developers due to market realities?
I certainly can't.
We're NOT talking about "market realities" here.. That isn't why
Obj-C/EOF isn't working right now.
It's because Apple refuses to fix a single broken palette, thereby
keeping their commitment to EOF/Obj-C that they made less than six
months ago.
As Eric Buck and others have pointed out, there is a significant
amount of revenue out there (tens of millions) that Apple has pissed
away by reneging on ObjC/EOF and other promises.
Tens of millions? Doubtful. How do you figure?
You're not aware of the size and scope of the project at Rockwell I
guess..
