Thanks for the update. FWIW, I'm working on CONNECTORS-437 in a branch. Given the extent of the changes required, and the limits on my time, I'd expect this work to require at least another week to reach a point of rough equivalency to where we are now. After that we probably will want to do more reorganization and update the documentation. So we're looking at weeks, but probably not months.
If it turns out that the consensus is that all of our current releases "go away", I'd want to have a prompt response ready. If not, we can take our time and get it right.
