WHOA - Xitami has no future???!!!  Meaning the iMatix group won't be further 
developing the Xitami platform?  I hope that I just read that wrong or that 
that comment is inaccurate.  Someone please tell me otherwise.  I have been 
on Xitami for nearly 6 years, been on this forum the entire time and 
ultimately depend on Xitami for hosting 35 domains - I can't even imagine 
trying, or wanting, to do this on another server.

Man, tell me it ain't so.
