That web-site is great but it doesn't provide the answer why fresh e-cos release is on hold.

Hello guys, We are considering to use e-Cos for our next large project in the area of CNC machine control. I like this RTOS but two things confuse me a lot: 1) The latest release is dated by May 2003. That is 4.5 years ago. According to modern standards in software industry, eCos can be considered as ancient as dinosaurs. Although I see some activity on eCos mailing lists, it doesn't bring a peace to my mind. What happened to eCos? It used to be very active in early 00. Why its releases are not updated? It is quite strange, that ecoscentric commercially distributes a product that is so old. Any success with such a specific business model? 2) eCOS doesn't distinguish between privilege levels. Is there any way to enable it for x86 platform? We need to keep user applications away from the control system core that we would like to run in Ring 0. Thanks in advance for your comments.
