Do you want the community to vote on this or are you going to make the decision? If it's up for vote then I'd vote to ship it as is since embryo seems powerful enough for simple theme animations and that's what edje is being marketed as at this point. With the next release of edje if we want the more powerful scripting and extra bindings to make it more like flash/silverlight/etc then it will definitely be seen as worthy of another major release and I'm sure people wouldn't mind the break all that much. I think there would be enough time between the release of this iteration and the next that we could let developers know that the switch is coming and they could prepare. I think lua would fit better with the more flash like edje then with the current version anyway so I vote to kick it out the door so we can get started on the transformation. Maybe the limitations of the current edje will bring in devs to help with this as well, who knows :) (I realize this is not a smoking gun so don't go crazy on me.)
