This is very exciting news. I've been a huge proponent of CineForm in the production pipeline for several years now. Glad this finally happened.

Aren't the files too big ?
For distribution, yes. But for production and post-production that's fine.
I understand it's an intermediate codec. It seems that it's even heavier than ProRes XQ so I'm wondering but yeah, hard drive are cheap now
Generally CineForm is lower bit-rate for the same quality as ProRES. See https://blog.frame.io/2017/02/13/50-intermediate-codecs-comp... for an independent analysis.
