"XtremIO and ScaleIO are merging, focusing effort on the Cyclone platform. XtremIO will cease working on version 6.4 and future version 7 (based on the same hardware platform as Cyclone). The Cyclone team still doesn't know about this."
My prediction is that this will be fumbled in some way or other, as it seems they did not plan well ahead.
Proper planning means that everybody will be informed of the road ahead. Trying to do so at the last minute will only lead to chaos.

Sysadmin hailed as hero for deleting data from the wrong disk drive
Played around with OS/2 on a spare 2Gb HDD.
Then I needed to use said spare HDD in production - made sure the spare is set as slave, and a windows (the one I was to copy from) is the master.
Started up ghost, went my merry way, ghosted it over.
And OS/2 booted up instead of Windows. Luckily a rebuilt-from-scratch was not a major operation, and was well-documented.

I can imagine some enterprising entrepreneur will amass a collection of memory sticks, and stick a couple of pr0nz on these (outside the borders of Blighty) then smugglebring them all in under the noses of customs, then distribute on a royalty basis (like the old DVD/Video superstores of old).
With occasional trips to outside Blighty to get updated content in to keep frequent clients happy and paying for the privilege.

One ex-manager thought it was a good idea to, when requiring IT assistance, phone IT and inform me that something is smoking.
Which caused me to drop everything I'm currently working on and rush to his location.
First two times it worked. Thereafter it was taken with a "oh, you again" and a pinch of salt. Pissed me off seriously.

Re: Caveat Emptor
As per recent Reg articles, many within HP, including the then CFO, thought the same but they were railroaded and/or simply ignored.
Quite
They must be smug and have "We told you so" attitudes.
IIRC the CFO was fired for sticking to her guns? Can she use this case to sic some lawyery types onto HP for a bigger payday?
