Here's one view: - Adobe considers New Atlanta to be a threat to their ColdFusion business due to the commercial success of BlueDragon (especially BD.NET, and due to high-profile customer wins such as MySpace). - Adobe associates OpenBD with New Atlanta, and therefore does not want OpenBD to be successful. - Adobe does not consider Railo to be a threat because they have not yet had any real commercial success (at least not on the same scale as New Atlanta and BlueDragon). - Adobe wants to use Railo as a counter-weight to diminish the influence of OpenBD (and--in their minds--New Atlanta).
There's already been some anti-Railo rhetoric from Adobe--it's fairly predictable what will happen if they ever start to view Railo as a threat to their ColdFusion business. I've heard through the grapevine that Adobe has already threatened third-party vendors who make their products compatible with Railo.
