We’ve had some sponsors go silent recently. Maybe ping sponsors and ask if they wish to maintain sponsorship? As a sponsor for a number of connectors, I’ll check on the ones I’ve sponsored. > - Do they all worth to keep maintaining in Storm main repository?

Bug reports and mailing list activity may not be a good status indicator. Storm’s Kafka integration was the initial model for the “batteries included” impetus behind `external`. If we want to evolve how that works, why not start there, see what works/doesn’t work, and adapt. I don’t want to shock our users/consumers/distributors. -Taylor
