	I agree with you, but since funding seems to be such a tough
issue, and nobody has been hurt by vaporware announcements, I'm
inclined to be very charitable on that topic. I could imagine
Valleywag or some other snark-blog doing a "Show Me The Servers!"
post. But, myself, I'd rather just let it alone and wait for anything
to happen, than go through a "Kabuki" of "soon ... deal's in the
works ... big things on the horizon ... the sun'll come out tomorrow ..."
