I do not know Antony's reasons and it is not clear to me that some posts in
forums that almost no customer read is a reason for him not to release Zappa.

Note that the main question is what is the playing strength of it and it is a
pity that Anatony does not let us to know by giving it a similiar test to Fruit
WCCC's test.
