Salut, Emmanuel! Migration is always a big project, like moving from one home to another in the physical world. We are trying to move the process along to minimize the stress and keep it from feeling like an emergency.
I was not part of Infra when the decision to move on from the CMS was taken, but I am confident it was not taken without a careful balancing of the gains and losses involved. Infra will do all it can to smooth the path. The first step for the PMC would be deciding on what replacement technology to use. There are several available; we have listed some on the pages I linked to in my first message, and of course there are many tools that can reliably generate a static website.
