Is this the beginning of the end for all SourceGear support of
AbiWord? If so, when are you planning to pull the plug on the website,
the CVS repository, the mailing lists, etc? SourceGear still provides
almost all of the AbiWord infrastructure, and it would be nice to know if
and when that will go away.

Also, as SourceGear gradually drops its support for AbiWord, what do you
plan to do with the trademarks?

Binaries are absolutely essential. Releasing them is non-optional.
