Nobody is working on it. Act like there will be no ML port for this cam ever.

There's no point to wait. It will be never be released. Live with it or change camera with larger DR.
Are either of the replies official? From someone on the dev team? Or not?
To me, it seems a completely legitimate question to ask about a road-map for a port to the 5ds and 5ds/r models. My understanding is that is considered trolling. I see it as very complimentary to the ML dev team that people are very enthusiastic about ML on a new camera, especially to have Dual-ISO.
If I was in the market for one of those cameras, the eventual release of ML would greatly help in the decision. If ML made an official statement of "No, not ever!" like they have for the 1Dx, then I would have that much less interest in the 5ds or 5ds/r.
I'm less-than-informed about crowd-sourcing, but perhaps such a campaign would be mounted to get a used 5ds for a1ex. The street price on both, but especially the 5ds, seems to have gone down drastically. That seems like it would increase the interest level. Perhaps LensRentals would be willing to give a huge discount to a1ex for a lengthy rental?
