For everyone else, there was a very brief off-list discussion on this
amongst a few who've been doing web related things - I'm just reposting
my questions from that -

A reverse question.  How long could / is Oracle willing to host what
is there?  Just because the trademark, domain, etc. move to Apache
doesn't mean everything has to move at that time.  The DNS settings
could still point back to Oracle hosting for all, then select,
subdomains.  In my opinion this should be seen as the start of the
transition of some of those things, and done section by section over
6-12 months.  I think that approach was discussed initially?

What, if anything, is Oracle's wish / responsibility in keeping old
NetBeans 8.2 and earlier code and updates up?

We could do with clarifying Apache rules on hosting archived older
versions of Apache projects under previous license and copyright.  I
think I posted a quote from somewhere recently that suggests we could
host the old source and binary bundles on Apache infra, which would be
ideal.

Best wishes,

Neil
