Pretty much, yeah. We might not have every little function (e.g.,
templates for virtualhost creation, etc.) but all of the core
functionality we expect to be there and working. Plus some.

People may still use either as they wish, but we're going to dedicate
our development efforts to CPX. I expect in 6 months to have all of
the iManager functionality working well in CPX. We'd like to do
incremental releases; this give you important pieces faster and
shortens our development time generally.

There are no direct CPX plans for those platforms at this time; there
will probably be some work around the middle of next year to explore
that.
