I cant say , i really don t have any infos ...but if it was my company and did that , it would have been either a bizness oriented move or the fact that the emulation doesn t meet my wishes .... or both ...who knows ? A third option witch is more than possible and actually the one i think is that maybe vertigo is rethinking its bizness model , and consiering plugins not as a side stuff , but really as a bug part of their activity since hw work is tuff ... this would make full sens to have more control other stuff and to it in their schedule , instead of depending of PA coders availlability ( those guyz , Ray , Nembrini , Daniel ect have quite a lot to achieve)
