I'm getting the feeling that the authors aren't as invested in Win Ton as they were when he first appeared in the series.

Spoiler:

Theo's girl friend seems to have become her girlfriend, and her attraction to Win Ton seems to have waned. He'll probably be palmed off to Surebleak, since it seems he physically can't do the Scout job at the present time.

Do we know if the guy who was the head of the Pilot's Guild on the Eyelot orbital is going to be the person assigned to head up Surebleak's chapter of the Pilot's Guild? Since he's at loose ends and they need someone.

I wonder why Shan is going to build the yos'Galan homestead on an island? After all, it's just the two of them, unless Priscilla gets pregnant. It wouldn't be convenient for either Nova or Anthora to be based out of there, it would seem.
