It would be great to see news of an R1, most probable and fair outcome imo but there is simply too much money invested here not to see another mini if the only reason was a tangled slide. Also the news that Frank is on the board comforts me somewhat, the guy put up a 1.7 mill line of credit and may have new insight and ideas.
Lets say mini 7 was indeed a fail, ok so everyone puts that behind them, learn from it and focus on mini 8.
Just my opinion.
