First off I got the impression that specific type of support was never the
intention of the FDC but I don't pretend to know exactly what the board was
thinking.

More importantly however citation desperately needed for this stat. You
can't make a statement like that without actual evidence 'I have reason to
believe' doesn't tell us anything at all especially for something that
broad.
