OpenWorld Fusion Apps update by someone who wasn't there

Ok, so I wasn't actually at OpenWorld, but I've talked to some folks who were and I've done some (very little actually) reading about what happened/didn't happen there. What's easy about providing this "update" on Fusion Apps is that nothing is really changing, so it's kinda easy. (yes, I know that there were 3 Fusion Apps released. What about a comprehensive Fusion Apps suite as previously promised?) So, here are a couple of thoughts:

• Fusion Apps has never been much more than a concept

• I've never seen a clear product roadmap
  

• Exists only in the marketing realm. Anybody else at the “Halfway to Fusion” event in San Fran City Hall in Jan 2006?
  

• Fusion is looking to be more of a technology, than applications play. Less value for the line of business users than for IT.
• Challenges involved in a completely rewritten, unified application seem to have been too much
• The 08 version of Fusion App suite (if one is even released) will likely be separate applications forced glued together with Fusion Middleware
  

• The departure of John Wookey and the ensuing reorg will have substantial negative impact for Oracle customers
• Oracle will likely see organizational upheaval and may lose focus on applications for several months as things sort themselves out
• New org structure emphasizes technology focus of Fusion. Applications now under leadership of Rozwat (server focus) and Kurian (middleware focus)
