Ray,

Does this mean that Greylock is dead or is it just required to stay home for further 
tests? :)

Just to make things official, here is da word - so to speak...

In May 2001, Macromedia announced that there would be no new
feature-additive releases of Macromedia Spectra. At that time,
Macromedia committed to outlining a clear migration strategy for Spectra
customers. We are pleased to announce Spectra 1.5.2, a new version of
that will come out after the release of Neo and allow Spectra customers
to run their existing applications, without change, on the Neo platform.
This migration strategy provides Spectra customers with an easy upgrade
path and allows them to take advantage of new features in Neo, such as
UNICODE compliance and performance enhancements. In addition to
releasing a new version of Spectra, Macromedia has committed to
extending support for the product until the end of 2003. 

In the May announcement, Macromedia also discussed plans to engineer a
version of the Spectra content object API (COAPI) into the Neo version
of the application server. This engineering effort resulted in a
technology called ColdFusion Components (CFCs). ColdFusion components
allow you to write encapsulated, reusable code on which you can perform
activities (invoke methods). This is similar to the way you work with
content objects in Spectra. ColdFusion components do not, however,
include a database layer that automatically persists data associated
with your object, as the Spectra COAPI did. Components do allow you to
create a custom persistence mechanism to access components as virtual
instances. This functionality will be documented in future Neo betas.
