[ydl-gen] YDL on PB17

[Derick Centeno]

Ah... so... you have a dual consciousness as well as a dual and/or  
multiple skills.
That's great!  My enthusiasm doesn't allow me to share your vision.

PR is not my primary skill; perhaps it's a skill I just absorbed as a  
result of being an average life-long resident of NYC.
My enthusiasm for YDL is not balanced by the training and skills  
which you have.  I guess you're also saying that my reasoning is not  
very reasonable when compared to what's happened not only because of  
decisions by TSS, but also Apple.  Remember they did dump the PowerPC  
chip.

I know you well understand better than I, that business strategies  
regarding what is maintained, supported, etc. has a logic which  
appears counter-intuitive or counter-sanity for the average person.   
Consider the Ford Taurus!  How could a company shut-down the most  
continuously reliable and produced car!  There are lots of examples  
of puzzling and confusing decisions throughout business in various  
industries.  And lot's of people are caught, by being either in the  
midst of these decisions or being affected by them.

There is no evil being committed here, Norberto.  Only hard realities  
considering the best use of limited skills and resources involved  
which you nor I are directly responsible to make -- although for you,  
when you finally are ready you may have to make similar choices based  
on realities few people will comprehend.

May you have the foresight and wisdom to do what should be done, when  
your time comes.

Derick.
