I recently attend another InfoBahn session, with speakers from Informix (IBM), and it was exciting to hear that Informix was given a higher priority, that the support for 7 was extented another 6 years, that 9.5 is being released, 9.6 is being developed, and 9.7 is being planned. Lots of exciting stuff. And IBM has also realised that merging Informix and DB2 might not be that realistic, so there is a chance that Informix might stay a database on it's own, instead of being merged in the long run.
