Different generation of people involved with the product at this time could provide different
results. I think the risk of wasting a few hours of my spare time is worth a try. I am not asking
them to continue the development of a tool on a completely different platform and commit resource
expenses for a long period of time. I am talking about a short effort with limited resources and a
huge long term impact to the community. Different all together in my opinion.

That approach sure didn't work with VFP/Mac. Back then they made a
business decision to kill the product, and no sort of reasoned
approach had any effect.
Marketing trumps technical every time.
