Chris, Unfortunately / Fortunately depending on your viewpoint REBOL as a technology is controlled by a single vendor whose commercial imperative is to make money.
That is fine and is their problem / reward, however as you point out sometimes it is our problem too. I don't think REBOL users can convince RT Inc. to change their business model or practices, as the sages have been saying since earliest times "Change must come firstly from within", with that in mind I don't see any point us bleating about this or other issues. RT have rightly made their commercial decisions and will succeed or not succeed in the market place because of those decisions, it's their call.
