Verilog-AMS is happening, whether you like it or not.  The big 
fabs are investing in it, big EDA is investing in it.  The guys 
at the fabs hate supporting all those incompatible versions of 
Spice, and see Verilog-AMS as the solution.

In a discussion with one of them I made a comment: "very soon 
simulators without Verilog-AMS will be unmarketable".  The 
response: "That's already true."

It's true at the high end.  Only the laggards don't have it.  
Some are using ADMS, and making inflated claims.  The best 
really do support Verilog-AMS, seriously.  The best are not 
Spice based.

Opposition here, or the appearance of opposition, will not stop 
it from taking over.  It can only stop us from being there.
