I suspect they will back track they know what will happen if they don't.

But it won't be free.

How much do you recon ongoing support should cost? How much does it cost to continue to support it.

It's not just greed BEagle it does actually take quite a lot of resources to do it properly.

You wouldn't expect ongoing OEM support on a airframe for free would you?
