Hi, I know I talked with John about that thing at an EclipseCon US many many years ago and what I took from that conversation was (I hope I remember correctly): * Yes it is doable * Yes it is a lot of work (IIRC he said multiple man years) * IBM would have to decide to go all-in or leave it like it is * Without downstream projects (JDT, ...) makeing the change as well it does not make a whole lot of sense
As Pascal said: I think the guy who knows most about this John so you can/should/must try to reach out to him.
