What we were planning was to add support for GSS, add the missing features and then migrate existing users and deprecate the older eventually. This would decrease the maintenance cost a lot in the long term. We really want to see GSS support for GWT in the long term. On top of additional features, there are other benefits with moving to GSS; Google is committed to maintain GSS and support it in the long term, we can get direct support from the authors as they are close to us. One other major advantage more specific to us is, we can reuse tons of already available GSS resources. For that reason, we would love to see you moving in this route and will definitely help you along the way, and also provide you additional contact points from the team for support.
