"Worse still, they did it right after going to 9, instead of milking the 9-speed cow for a while. Maybe it's good because it was such a pathetic reaction that Shimano would look petty by trying to go further."

At the bike show one year right after Campy came out with 10 shimano had a proto 14sp cluster. Maybe common sense took over.
