The ML folks have sworn off working on higher end cameras (1DX and similar) because of thinly veiled legal threats from Canon, although I'd personally be concerned about bricking a camera that expensive.

Which is total BS and allows Canon to drag their feet to add features that the cameras are completely capable of. It's kind of a joke that a camera can do complex things yet the only thing holding it back are firmware updates. Canon could even charge for say a "film" firmware for their DSLR cameras to enable these features, disable AGM, etc. But they have to protect their film cameras that even still miss features ML brings to the table.
Agreed.

I wish a development team in a "better" jurisdiction would fork ML and continue on with it.

Sigh
