An interesting item I have just found on the Adobe web site - is this a sign of things to come for the stock photographer?

As of April 1, 2008, the Adobe® Stock Photos royalty-free image service will be discontinued. Adobe made this decision in order to focus efforts in other areas. We appreciate your support of Adobe and the Adobe Stock Photos service.
