After we're done adding support for 1.8 to Sling we can have a 1.9 branch in the oak-server bundle which tracks this. If needed, we could branch other bundles as well, e.g. the pax-exam support. If you're interested in integration tests, we can also branch the starter and add extra IT jobs, but the question is who will maintain those and ensure they are up-to-date? We are not doing the best job with the current setup, adding more on top is not going to make things better. Thanks, Robert
