Hi folks,

At the recent Planning Council meeting we discussed this item[1] and have
come to the conclusion that enough time has passed to allow these
problems[2] to be resolved. As they haven't been resolved a reminder, the
plan is that at the beginning of the 2022-06 release cycle (in time for M1)
that:
- Mylyn will be removed from SimRel
- the current Orbit direct contribution to SimRel will be removed (this was
the workaround to make Mylyn work)

I still fear there are a number of side effects of this change that we will
have to deal with, and doing this in M1 timeframe (mid-March) should give
us plenty of time to resolve any issues before the final release (mid-June).

[2] The bugs that were tracking the issues that are not resolved are Bug
569078 <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=569078> and Bug 568379
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=568379>

Thanks,
