Hans pretty much said that IBM transfered everyone out of the Toronto lab:
"...I still think back to the major "staffing action" that happened in the
summer of 2003. During that re-org, a substantial number of iSeries
developers in the Toronto Lab, including me, were shuffled to other areas.
But few people outside of IBM knew what was happening. ..."

What does "investing in the future of the platform and ... RPG" mean
in terms of staffing in Toronto Labs and features for the next
release?  Is the work that Toronto Labs had been doing now being done
in India?  ( better than nothing )

IBM should either open source IBM i or sell it to another company.
