Well, I think there are only 16-17 more years until the patent expires on the Foveon technology. It is a technology that has yet to be proven. And dust is more of a problem with it then with conventional 4 pixel technology, as one speck of dust can knock out all three colors. I have not seen the dust problem mentioned, but the fact the Sigma SD9 has a piece of grass in front of the mirrorbox is indication that they are well aware of the problem. That piece of glass can not improve the image quality any.
