Does XLink have a future at W3C?

I guess I could have asked the question framed in the title of this email in 
a less stark form. But I think the title distils the question that I, and a 
number of others, wish to ask.

As some on this list will be aware XLink has been the subject of a recent 
article on XML.com as well as a number of comments and questions on the XML 
linking comments list.

What is the W3C's view of the future of XLink? What does the absence of a 
publicly available future work program for the linking WG say in that 
context?

I could ask many more nuanced questions to explore detail of factors which 
might impinge on this matter. Let the question remain in its direct form - 
Does XLink have a future at the W3C?

If this list is considered not to be the appropriate place to ask this 
question, where ought it to be posed and publicly discussed?
