Hey Alan,

Yes it's a somewhat comical notion :-)
Just to make your point/question clearer for people: the said product was supplied for free for the last few releases. So if people were to sue for damages, it would need to be a very strong case indeed! I'm sure Apple would be happy to supply a full refund ;-)
More seriously, I think the sentiment is coming from promises (or assumed promises) that were made when, for example, the Xcode tools were dropped. The reasoning given was to concentrate on enhancing the frameworks. Thus the initial impression given to the community by Apple (bolstered by its funding of tools like WOLips) was that a renewed energy was being put into WO by Apple that people could continue to build their business apps with. And, there was some initial promise of better community involvement in the evolution of WO when the Apple maven repo was made available (which showed some future versions in the works). It didn't last long though which was a shame at the time, especially for us maven users. Hmm so, perhaps it was the community's unwillingness to embrace maven that canned it moving forward :-)
cheers,
Lachlan Deck
