I'm speculating that Mentor is feeling some heat from Cadence.

But I think it's whimsical thinking that Cnews, INN, <??????>, will be
working furiously to outdo each other.

I couldn't waste so much of my time reading news were it not for the great
Cnews package. But G&H haven't gotten a dime from me for their efforts.

If G&H never released another line of code I'd be happy. I'm not waiting
for them to help "drive netnews into the 21st century". They probably have
real jobs.
