[Framers] Final note about Adobe Licensing

These recent threads about licensing and related Adobe corporate-level
failings, and the associated sense of abandonment that's been voiced by
long-long-long-time FrameMaker users who represent a community of talented
technical authors and publishers prompt me to think "Is there any next step
that Adobe might take?" Well, if anyone at Adobe with any power to
communicate with the higher Adobe Powers That Be reads this list (or if any
members have contacts with folks who have the ability to communicate with
those APTBs,) how about floating the idea that if Adobe's no longer
interested in supporting FM and its community of users, perhaps it's time
to think about finding a company that would like to buy it. FM might be
only a mere fragment of a niche in Adobe's spectrum of products and
services and income streams, but to a smaller enterprise, it could be a
substantial business.

Just another wild idea. Anyone out there? Bueller?
