Unfortunately, there are almost certainly nowhere nearly enough
customers so dependent on the Alpha platform that they would commit even
further to it in sufficient numbers absent *any* indication of interest
(let alone real 'commitment') in it by its owner. So the ball is, as it
has always been, in said owner's court, and there's little evidence that
I'm aware of that said owner will do anything but continue to ignore it.
