Your information is either out of date or grossly distorted.  Bob has never
said anything like that on this list.  In fact, please read the following
interview which directly contradicts everything you are saying.

If you have documentation that backs up your statements, please share it.

To be fair, there are people on the EGL team who think EGL can be used in
place of RPG, and that EGL can eventually replace RPG as the language of
choice for developing new applications.  But nobody on the EGL steering
committee is dumping RPG, so take your FUD and move on.

Trevor, this is a mailing list.  If you have direct personal correspondence
with Bob, keep it personal and keep it off this list.  If you are, however,
asking about EGL, I'm as qualified as anybody on the list to answer
questions, especially concerning EGL and the System i.
