I think that man stans assumptions are correct based on the data.

The data being that there is no news on Carrara 9.

A company hoping to sell Carrara 9 would talk it up, would let leaks out, gradually build the excitement.

 

A company not planning on c9 release, or that was planning on selling it, would keep mum.

Daz is keeping quite on the issue.

That tells us quite a lot.
