RAM Elements

I read in another thread where STAAD(X) was being developed as Bentley's primary general analysis platform. Am I to read into that thread that RAM Elements will be eliminated?  Elements is my primary alternative to RISA, especially because it integrates into RAM SS which is our firm's building analysis software, and RAM Connection.


Elements hasn't been updated for over a year, and I have been holding out hope that a new release would come soon taking advantage of the 64bit FE engine that RAM SS now uses.  If this is not the case, I'd like to know.  Seth mentioned a patch that was forthcoming to Elements to work with Connection V9, but if all we're going to get is maintenance and not development, I'll be sorely disappointed.


Would it be possible to share development plans in broad strokes for the RAM Suite (Elements, SS, Connection, Concept) so users have an understanding of capabilities/improvements being developed.?

Thanks
