I haven't answered this question because I don't know the answer. Who knows how anyone else thinks? Especially a big corporation that's just been acquired by an even bigger corporation? Anyway, from my POV, CDF is a dead horse. We did some work with it when it first came out, but it seemed fairly useless and never went anywhere that I could see. Beyond that, I have not got a clue what CDF was supposed to do that anyone wanted. RSS on the other hand is quite useful, and lots of people are getting on the RSS train, so of course we supported it enthusiastically. That's the big picture from where I sit.
