Yes, best thing for retina displays is to use Athens. It is maybe not
yet ready for prime time, but of course it is more than nothing, and i
crawling slowly to finish line :)

I can only say that it was right strategic choice to put effort in
developing it.
Because if we wouldn't make such choice few years ago, and allocate
our resources to other tasks (and there's plenty),
there would be nothing to propose at all to support new generation of
hardware which comes these days. :)
