I see their action as a sign that everyone should feel at ease about the
RSA business from now on. There have have been a few posts lately
wondering what will happen on the 20th, and this anouncement can now put
all of that to rest...and a couple of weeks early, no less!
I don't feel as though RSA are the cat's pajamas for this 2 week
reprieve, but it's nice (certainly for their sake as well) that they put
out a press release 'officially releasing' it in to the public
domain...they could have kept quiet about it and instead they do their
best to put a positive spin on the situation.
My $0.02,
Patrick
