Based on the videos from the last meetup, and the notes from the steering 
committee, many of us got the impression that GWT was moving towards being 
a pure Java-to-Javascript transpiler, and that the official recommendations 
from the GWT team was for developers to plan ahead for this.

*GWT 2.8 and 
Beyond 
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltqWRoJ0S-o&list=PL1yReUCGwGvrqscLu1EAyYRPrr0ceEHLE)*

These recommendations were repeated at GWTcon, but this time with a 
reference to the J2CL compiler that Google is working on, and it was more 
or less directly stated that it is up to the GWT steering committee to 
decide, if *they* want to base a future version of GWT on J2CL or not. 

This is causing a lot of confusion in the GWT community, as we all have a 
hard time distinguishing between what is GWT and what is not, when it comes 
to the new transpiler.

*What are the steering committees future vision for GWT, and how does J2CL 
fit into this?*
