but once Borland abandons kylix, it will be gone for good. Even if someone wanted to take up the cause, no one could because the source is closed. My prediction, is there will be a big news anouncement from Borland stating that it hasn't abandoned Kylix, they are only focusing there attention elsewhere for the moment.

Correct. Development has slowed down from time to time but it has never stopped since I helped found it.
