I wonder as a user, could I comment here on this discussion? I hope that a "separate code" would not lead to either a different release cycle or a separate install process. CheBlogs.com runs on Roller and I administer it as a "hobby gone bad", so the thought that I may have to monitor and maintain separate projects to get the existing functionality of Roller (which I really am committed to using) in the future is a real concern to me. As it is I have been lagging in updating the site to the latest and the greatest because of the stress to me of managing a switch in the site's critical software. I believe I started CheBlogs.com with Roller 0.96(?) (March 26, 2003) and then upgraded to Roller 0.971, and I am just about to move from 1.0 to 2.1 and I am looking forward to the improvements that I know are there waiting for me and my users. Planet being a real plus in my mind since, as I understand it, I can use it to create a refined community of bloggers that doesn't include the ED, viagara, weight lose, and ring tones crowd that I am constantly removing from the main site's front page. Sorry, for the lengthy interjection, but although I may not be a "costumer" of Roller in the new (and rather odd) world of Apache as I have been reading, I am a to date proud and happy user of some excellent work by Dave and company!
