Boy, how to enrage a passionate community! See here, here, here, and here. And I thought I'd get away with it, 'cos Ed's on vacation? Nah...
The thing is, I knew more than I was letting on about the Edge Services roadmap (or lack thereof). But I had to be careful what I said, 'cos Ferris Research had agreed to an "embargo" (a kind of informal NDA). David Via also weighed in with a nice post, also during the embargo. The news wasn't announced until Wednesday 6pm my time. Chris Williams had written up a great post about it, which was all queued up to go once the embargo was lifted.
What's the blogging equivalent of biting one's tongue? Whatever it is, I was doing a lot of that all day.

I couldn't agree more, but when I'm wearing my Ferris hat, I play by David Ferris's rules. We generally respect reasonable embargo requests whether they're from Microsoft or from IBM.
In this case, the pre-announcement "chatter" in other spaces made it a tougher call. Hence the posts from me and DavidV.
I think you were right when you predicted a bigger announcement timed for Lotusphere.
