I thought Avid was putting up a "development team" (or rather
port-and-fight-bitrot team) in Eastern Europe and milk the name for all
that it's worth.  So while it won't change much in future (and probably
will get worse at importing/exporting to other software that does get
developed), it should be available for a while to come.

The whole point of throwing the development team in UK out was to try to
sell it for as long as possible.  I don't think that "only a fool would
buy a copy", but since I would not have bought a copy anyway, that's
just speculation.
