Berin:
I think your questionnaire is missing a really important option - namely the managed migration of to the avalon containment platform. Based on the efforts from Niclas in cleaning up the fortress build and dependency issues, we now have fortress building relatively cleanly - and building in gump. For the first time in months we are in a position to actually capture breaking changes to the codebase. From this position - and with the interest expressed already by several users, we have the potential to do the following:
1. enable code maintenance as required
2. move forward with migration tools (linked to avalon-finder)
3. enable a potential fork if a community of interests considers
this as viableAs to the questionnaire - I disagree with the questions and implications. First off - the notion of "move" implies that the code is not maintained in Avalon. That notion should be dropped - the code is managed by the Avalon PMC is as far as I am concerned is not going anywhere. However, forking the codebase is perfectly acceptable. As to the final option - your mixing "migration" with the "nuking" and "forcing users". I happen to think that migration is the best all round solution. However in presenting such an option I would be choosing different adjectives.
For example:
[X] Work together on a viable Fortress/ECM migration strategy
What this means is that the code stays where it is available for maintenance. In addition we work on building the necessary support for migration - which I figure can be done reasonably rapidly based on the expressions of interest already put forward.
Cheers, Stephen.

It is only a way to show your preference. Please put a number of the order of preference that you have for what to do with Fortress. If any of the options is completely disagreeable put a -1 next to it.

Stephen.
Can you please put it in the form of order of preference like I did? Remember that this is only an opinion poll. Nothing binding here.
