I am not so sure about "ultimate," although that is not to denigrate
the project in any way. I'm sure it will do great things. The
technique, "TDI," is far from new, but that does not make it any less
valuable.

The plan is to have over 2 gigapixels. I don't think even this is
necessarily "ultimate."

"Ultimate" means "last", but not necessarily "the last ever".
