Aaron, please use the proper terms. Merlin was discontinued in early October, Metro is a fork based on Merlin, but impossible to make 100% compatible, namely facilities and other extensions. Phoenix was discontinued more than a year ago, Loom is a fork based on Phoenix and I assume they have similar compatibility issues in the container extension areas. ECM/Fortress has been moved to Excalibur. I.e. Avalon has become Excalibur and in the process kicked out Phoenix and Merlin... and the people behind them. I would even call it balkanization along lines of people, which one director point out to me being unacceptable. But then again, I have used up my credit points in the upper tiers, so I don't expect them to see it the same way.
