you stated...
What we do know is that all the primary players involved in the technology have been removed.
How is it that you know this? I would expect the engineering team who are the REAL primary players responsible for the product development will be retained, wouldn't you? I still believe the CDX product is under continued development, and based on the PR reference to an "assessment" of CDX, a newer, more marketable version might be on the way. Just my opinion offered in response to yours.
Cheers,
