Hi, We have an upcoming committers meeting soon, and will likely touch on the topic of Reference Branch. As we could probably waste the whole meeting on that one topic, I'm starting this thread to "warm up".
As for me, I'm totally not up to date on what the status is. I don't even know if anyone have been looking at the branch at all lately. Is there anyone who can give a short status update on what the state is, who is working on it, what is the next steps, what are the challenges/blockers etc? As 9.0 is coming up, and the project plans for further changes, perhaps even reorganization of the git folder structure, move to Java 17 on main branch etc etc, I think there is still a potential window between now and 6 months ahead where porting code from ref-branch is still doable. After that it will become more and more problematic. Jan
