I have no inside information into Adobe development.  I do have insight into
how much lead time is required for software development.

Your statement above is a bit like saying if Ford came out with a new car
that takes a totally different kind of gas, when customers have problems
finding that gas the fault lies with the gas stations for not stocking the
new type quickly enough.

I really, really wish more camera makers would standardize on a common
format.  Like DNG.  Or, at the very least, provide RAW -> DNG converter
themselves with each new camera.  Or...at the very, very least...  Give
Adobe the specs with enough lead time so that Adobe can incorporate the
latest format into their products at about the same time those proprietary
formats reach the market.
