Let's wait for PDC09 first

Ok, it's a fact that the Oslo umbrella has little left of the glory it once had. On the other hand, the original plan would never have yielded a stable, full-featured product (or a set of products) in v1. If the new direction results in shipping something actually useful at the first stage, it's not all bad.

Not that I'd be yearning for yet another data access technology, but realistically, none of them make a decent effort at providing an easy way to manage multi-application databases. If the first release of Oslo is a solution to this problem, that's a loss for the DSL visionaries, but at least it's useful for somebody. Meanwhile, I'm sure we can tolerate Antlr et al. for a few years more.

Let's continue the speculation once PDC09 keynote is over. It's not too long a wait.
