We can encourage the effort, but can't officially endorse a spec. because i=
t's still in the experiment stage.
There are not enough implementations to test, and not enough testing done t=
o verify that it is complete.
The same thing applies to us releasing a tech note documenting the BigTIFF =
changes.
(ahem, this is partly the words of my management)

I don't think that anyone here (except for maybe yourself) expect that
Adobe should officially endorse BigTIFF.  However, we do expect that
eventually Adobe Photoshop and other Adobe products should and will
support it.

There is simply no other file format which addresses the requirements
and capabilities that TIFF provides, and Adobe products will clearly
benefit from supporting it as long as there is demonstrated
interoperability with other software.
