The PR has been merged; OptaPlanner code now lives in the Drools repo! One repo down as part of our 10.3.x consolidation!
The OptaPlanner repository will be archived shortly. For anyone with open PRs targeting the OptaPlanner repository: please update your PRs to target the appropriate path within the new merged structure (optaplanner-* directories inside the Drools repo). The old OptaPlanner repo will remain available in read-only/archived form for reference. I'll be creating the kogito-runtimes merge PR later today. Chinchu, if you'd like to test that one out in IntelliJ to check for the performance concerns you raised, feel free to grab it once it's posted; your feedback would be really valuable. As for kogito-apps, that's currently in progress. I can share a branch here once it's ready if you (or anyone else) would like to test it as well. Thank you all for your feedback and reviews!
