SXCE should continue until it's no longer needed. In my mind, there
are a number of things any proposed SXCE replacement needs to do in
order to be *the* replacement including:
1) Implementing all the existing, ARCed functionality of the
existing SXCE release (note that some of that functionality may
be available via a package repository rather than on the media
itself). Any existing functionality which isn't going to be
available in the replacement needs to have been properly EOLed
and then EOFed.
2) Obviously, any other changes to interfaces between SXCE and
its replacement need to be ARC approved as well.
3) There needs to be sufficient means to test the replacement.
For example, hands-off installation via something like
JumpStart needs to exist before SXCE can go away since that
type of technology is used for running automated tests, build
by build.
4) There are obviously other criteria as well that needs to be
defined and then adhered to in the areas of quality,
performance, etc.
