Nick ,et al.
Agree with your comments around support and maintenance of previous
versions of Guacamole. There seems little point to me in backporting
and, as you say, it would create quite a lot more work - most likely to
the detriment of future improvements and features.
Probably obvious that the same could be said of 1.x and 2.x branches,
although I have to confess I prefer 2.x Python to 3.x and sometimes wish
for days of yore :)
WRT Spring Boot; I had to look it up, from what I can tell it appears to
offer some simplification/ease of use advantage for some people, but to
the detriment of diversity? I do speak as someone who won't use snap,
and looks at flatpaks with suspicion, but I also very much agree with
you that fundamentally Guacamole should be - as much as is *reasonably*
possible - supported and able to be installed on widely diverse platforms.
Obviously this does not preclude a Spring Boot release, indeed that
would seem a positive thing, but at this point it's unclear to me
whether it's got a wide enough following to warrant spending a lot of
time on it?

I'm all for making it easier to use and develop, but I'm very cautious and
usually opposed to moves that lock a certain project (Guacamole) into
something else and make it more difficult for people to run in environments
that don't match exactly what I happen to be doing.
Mike, James, Carl, Luke - interested to hear your thoughts...
