I believe that NewsGrazer will be 'frozen' at the current level, although you  
can bug_next if there are significant bugs.  That leaves the market open for  
commercial products like Jayson's "NewsExplorer."  Sort of like with BackSpace.   
NeXT is trying to avoid competing with it's developers, after all.
