Because Excaliber is deprecated, I would move towards putting the efforts towards what isn't deprecated. Turbine has ECM support, but that is deprecated, hence the lack of interest from that side on updated ECM. I am guessing since Fortress was a very simple upgrade, that most people have moved on...?

But the fact that the unit tests fail is a good warning to people not to start projects with ECM.
