Project Marklar? Heh.

Even if they never plan to release it on the world, it would make great sense for them to keep slowly maintaining it, and then pepper announcements to the press.

Why: it's an on MS tactic. Announce that you have vaporware and force your competitors to compete with it before it's actually a product. If you force your competition into enough of a tizzy, you'll win without having to develop or market anything.
