Losing deadcat stuff would be a bad thing. I guess that's part of breaking away. Hobbit will just need to spring something up like deadbunny or some other typical pet for a Hobbit.
As I wrote in another message, being able to use as many of the Deadcat client-side extensions as possible is important. And Hobbit needs to stay compatible with the BB client.
(I have several hundred clients installed myself - upgrading all of them just isn't an option).
To be honest, I wonder if the quest version of BB is actually selling/successful... ie, are there still loads of new BB users sprouting up, or is it just old BTF license users who are using/maintaining old BB installations....
There haven't been many commercial updates, and it looks like Quest is starting to move away from giving the source out.
One thing I've noticed is that traffic on the BB mailing list appears to have dropped significantly after the Hobbit mailinglist started, and the beta-testing really got going.
There are currently 169 adresses subscribed to the Hobbit list, and a handful more only on the announcement-list. I guess I must be doing something right :-)
