The only first hand info I can add is the money guy passed away a couple
years ago, which probably put things into limbo and I’m not sure who is at
the helm of Xinuos now. When I last talked to their engineering director
they had non-trivial revenue supporting the old products, enough to run
several product development engineers apart from whatever else it took to
keep the lights on.
I'd love to hear more recent news...

Ps I sent off a message to the FreeBSD developer list to see any one there
knows. Hope I'm not stepping on any toes...

They did? Do you have details? From the version number it sounds as
if it must have been at a time when most people already thought they
were dead.
