I don't think they push CCS much anymore. The focus seems to be on generating long reads and then using Quiver to call the consensus (https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/GenomicConsensus/blob/...).

That's probably wise of them. The last time I looked at data from them, the CCS reads were still very noisy. It's better to rely on your strengths. In their case, it's long reads.

Yup. Just keeps getting better (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BpUs_MAIYAEHb2o.png:large).
