This thread has seen a revival with many points being made on both sides. However, things have gone cold for nearly a week now and there are processes and decisions that hinge on the outcome with respect to users and developers alike. Are we to assume that what has been done is done and this discussion is moot? Some finality in this matter would be greatly appreciated to either continue forward with EL6 builds and preparing all of our ecosystem users for the 1.14 release to migrate or beginning now to tell users they are SOL and to start testing transition and migration while we work out and test the best way for them to do so.
