I sympathize and feel you have *some* valid points but basically I am 
99.99% sure that what you are wishing for will never happen in a 
million years.

1.  Though they have steadily upgraded the program E-magic has not 
charged for an upgrade in years (literally).  Sooner or later they 
were going to have to.  this is the time.

2.  Many of us would be more excited about an happy to pay for an 
upgrade that just fixed bugs than on that just added features.

3.  It appears that e-magic are pushing themselves right to their 
limits just to develop and debug one version of logic there is 
basically no motivation for them to do that for two lines of logic 
when they can't even do it 100% successfully for one.

4.  Debugging is apparently almost as difficult and in some cases 
more difficult than adding features if they are going to go to all 
that time and expense to debug you can bet that they are going to 
concentrate their efforts on the Flagship of their line.
