no. The discussions are mainly pie in the sky stuff with a high risk factor and a long incubation time. Even if we could shrink the development of such a container to a year (which I doubt) and we are successful (which is by no means guarenteed) we have still left our users in the lurch for a long time and gone back to the eternal alpha that Avalon was always in. We worked a long time to finally get something released stable and I do not think we should abandon our users for a pipe dream.
If the new uber container actually occurs and solves the problems it proposes to solve then we could perhaps start moving towards it then. Until such a time I think we should be mindful of our users - some of whom have risked a lot to trust our development.
As long as the development of Phoenix is done in the light of the new process and towards the same common goal, it's ok.
Then we should expand on the "We continue to support our existing projects while we start fresh on a new effort." part to better understand what "support" means.
From what I now understand, it would mean to continue active development too, given that it's done consistently with the development of the new container.
What do others think?
