It's a mature product - it works, it has no problems hardly at all. It got the ability to handle Java calls when it needed to. It gets PTFs. What's the problem here? 

Yeah, it's not highly visible - might be its worst problem. But it's going away about as fast as RPG and COBOL have. Under the same predicitions.

As to observation - look at the site for ND on i that IBM has. Look at the announcements - I just glanced at them and do not have dates and timeframes. But stuff IS happening with it. One developer on it? OK - it doesn't need more if it's basically working.

OK - back to my vacation!
