Hey guys,
What really are the problems - direct, impending or long term problems
being as it is now?
I can recall these stated problems if I understood it correct:
1. porting issues(moving to future java versions)
2. single-threaded editing context <- Must be a bottleneck problem for
multiple instance setup?
Sorry if I'm being naive on my question haha

WebObjects is one of Apple’s weapons - it helps them be fluid and quick - especially with the devs they have. Maybe open sourcing WO seems threatening because it is a internal business advantage.

Oh, absolutely! Given the zilliards Apple charges for WebObjects licences... oh, wait.
Actually I just don't get it -- for long long years I don't get it at all.
(i) first, they seriously cripple the world's best web application framework by cutting out the ObjC support, leaving it Java-only, and thus half-unusable.
(ii) then they stop bundling it.
(iii) then they stop supporting it at all.
All right, I can see after (i) they could hardly charge any money for licencing, whilst the support price would skyrocket; but why on earth not put it to open source at the same moment?!?
The same company who is known to put _lots_ of pretty interesting things to public (see Darwin).
Oh, sigh.
About the only (dumb and conspirational) theory I can think of is that were the sources open, hacking App Store would get the usual 'varsity freaks pastime :)

It’s a shame Apple never did the same with WO.
