Sascha,
Excellent question.  I've been watching the CB1 work and concur with your 
description of the excellent functionality being added there!
We have nearly completed the migration of CB2 work to OCB include the OpenStack 
and Hadoop workloads.  I think we just need to work out a migration plan that 
could leave CB1 work free to move to trunk.  Reducing cross-code base confusion 
was part of the rationale for splitting CB1 and CB2 work.
I share/understand your feelings about DevTool - we did not reimplement it in 
OCB.  The challenge is that we (Dell) still need to be able to create old 
builds.  So changes that risk legacy builds or require effort to test alternate 
builds would be difficult to support.  Suggestions?
Rob

Subject: [Crowbar] crowbar vs opencrowbar vs the people

Hi guys,

since this continuously surfaces, could someone from Dell clarify which parts 
of their development still take place in the 'crowbar' org? I'm just guessing 
here but if crowbar-2.0 development in practice moved to opencrowbar 
completely, we could likely re-use the 'master' branch for something else 
rather than letting it bit-rot. So as far as I understand, some hadoop and mesa 
branches still show some activity. How are Dell's future plans around these?

I'm asking this in good faith since Crowbar-1.x branches are all in heavy 
development and brought a host of awesome features during the last months. But 
we somewhat hide these in awkwardly named branches much to the confusion of 
interested newcomers. The current layout mostly results from how the ./dev tool 
works. But this tool is only used by one halve of the community that seems to 
gather around opencrowbar. So IMO there are less and less compelling reasons 
for keeping up with our baroque (to say the least) way of organizing things 
under the 'crowbar' organization.

Thoughts?
