That’s fine I expected that to be the outcome for the reasons you listed, but wanted to raise the discussion. Though I am curious what you mean by the lib dependencies that don’t support pekko, which library dependencies are you referring to within? The maintainers of the akka mongo persistence library have already successfully ported a pekko repo which I linked , they’re just working through some artifact publishing issues before a release happens.
