Adobe Denies, But We Maintain: FreeHand Will Not Be Further Developed

Yesterday, we were reporting the information released by Robert Raiola, Adobe France Marketing Manager, during an Adobe Live event, announcing that FreeHand development will be stopped.
In the meantime, Alexander Hopstein, PR-Manager Central and West Europe was denying our report on the German website Macnews.de.
To summarize his comments, FreeHand will be sold as a standalone product, as it was already the case previously (Macromedia took it away from its Studio Suite), and user should expect a maintenance release update before the end of the year.
However, the way Alexander Hopstein denied our report does not bring clear answer about FreeHand future... it remains vague enough, and playing with words to hide the truth. Yes, FreeHand will remain sold buy Adobe (available in the catalog, can still make money out of it), the already planned maintenance release update will be available before the end of the year, but the mid-term future of FreeHand remains unknown. He does not deny the core of our yesterday news: FreeHand development will be stopped, you can still buy it and use it , but it will not evolve anymore.
Adobe Stuff should learn that after years of experience dealing with Apple's 'no comments' strategy we have learned to understand the real meaning behind words; as well as confirming information before publishing them online.
In addition, Alexander Hopstein should also try to coordinate PR or information released by other Adobe managers. Last but not least, since yesterday, we have received many confirmation of our original report from independent sources. So who lies??
