There will not be enough of market for engineering and scientific

I've been fearing that since I heard that Dell had a line of

So much for negative stuff.
A university group or government lab in the US should offer a New SL and
maintain it. The gate keeper should keep it in US English. And please
no more cheese Icons.
For those of us outside the US it isn't a given that a US base
is in our best interests. For one thing that suggests that it will
be commercial: SL only worked because it had a commercial product
(RedHat) behind it.

Spanish ...)
