Consider this substantiation.

We have just turned up our BlueQuartz server #120.  We use them not only 
for our own hosting customers (alongside our Plesk systems) but we also 
do a fair amount of business in dedicated servers that we lease to our 
customers.  Not to mention, of course, our colocation customers, and I 
know that several of them are BlueQuartz users.   In fact, I know that 
some of the members on this list call our datacenters home for their 
servers.

As for the continued development of BQ, I'm all for it!  The platform 
offers a great foundation, and I know there are some great minds that 
can continue to build on that.

I'm happy to offer our services to the cause in the event that we need 
to put up some public development systems, a download site, or whatnot. 
  We are just putting the finishing touches on our new 10,000 
square-foot facility that we wholly own.  I'd love nothing more than to 
carve out a space for BlueQuartz, which has certainly served us very well.
