People who *want* these features need them now, not in 3-5 years. Unfortunately, not nearly enough people even know about OR concepts. A good case has been made that by releasing a OR tool that has a relatively low bar like ObjectSpaces, the whole concept would get more visibility. But if the concepts enforced by ObjectSpaces is different than the concepts offered by the commercial tools it would be worse for the commercial tool.
