Yes, I'm aware the reason may be different in the different
case; still Jeff portrayed that situation rather clear way:
they didn't want to use Machine Forth just because "they
were paid for ANS Forth programming", they signed kind of
agreement for that, therefore they "weren't interested" in
any changes etc.

Unfortunately we won't have any opportunity anymore to ask
Jeff for more details.
