Revisiting this after the 2.6.0 release two years later, I believe more strongly than ever that we should archive jclouds. I lack the domain knowledge and enthusiasm to maintain the project and no one else has stepped forward. Let's give users a month to report 2.6.0 regressions then proceed with archiving if there are no showstoppers? -- Andrew Gaul http://gaul.org/
