Adobe to breathe life into RoboHelp?

There are signs that Adobe is planning to breathe life into RoboHelp. They are said to be planning to set up a new development team in India (the former developers were laid off by previous owners Macromedia). Karl Matthews is now Adobe's Product Manager for RoboHelp, and he is arranging a meeting at the upcoming WritersUA conference with interested parties to determine the future direction for the product.

The questions are:

Is this just talk to stop users migrating to new tools?
If they do plan to act, have they left it too late?
