And that's just it. There currently is no active development on Phoenix 
v3. It's not because it's particularly difficult -- there's a prototype 
and it works just fine. It's just a big job, and the developers in 
question have been busy with other things. The lack of a Protofied 
Phoenix is not indicative of any shortcoming of Proto or of Phoenix.
