P: Sigma SD1 - when will the Merrill sensors be supported, please!

It's 2 years since the SD1 was first shown, and 1 1/2 years since a family of Sigma bodies using the 15.4/16Mp sensor began to fill out. There are now thousands of DP and SD Merrill bodies out there, and yet Lightroom/ACR still have no support for them.

Third party support does exist from one small developer, so it can't be that hard to process these files - please, support these cameras or give a definitive explanation for the lack of support so users can pursue the right angle to get support.

    Photoshop Camera Raw and DNG Converter also support the Sigma SD15 (not listed), but is support on its way for the X3F files from the larger Merrill sensor in the SD1 and new DP1 & DP2?

    With a background of amateur black and white photography, the more I use and learn about Camera Raw, the more impressed I am. It gives me the same satisfaction that I used to derive from darkroom work, but in the new digital world. Good as it is, for me, Sigma's raw processing software is simply no match.

    Adobe, please help us Merrill users. Sigma Photo Pro is really one of the worst RAW processing softwares, workflow will be so much faster in Photoshop

    Perhaps Adobe had knowledge of the new foveon sensor coming in the just-announced Quattro models so held off on Merrill-model support?

    DNG Converter supports older DP series. Why can't Lightroom support x3f directly? DP1 Merrill lens profile already exists in Lightroom. We are all looking forward to the x3f support!

    I'd love to have Sigma DPXM support as well. I'll keep using my DP2M regardless, but I would be more likely to invest in Adobe products if they could clean up my workflow.

    I've found that in my profession it is unwise to limit one's self by saying I'm not doing this or that. Adobe is limiting/reducing it's customer base by not fully supporting the Foveon sensor. Why is this?

    I currently use PS5 and LR5 however am not likely to continue updating or using CC as Adobe does not support my camera(s) of choice.

    As a long time owner of several successive DP cameras from Sigma (DP2s, then DP1x, now DP2 Merrill) I would very much welcome the support for especially the Merrill camery in Lightroom and Photoshop.

    Thank you for considering this.
