We will be pleased to test BUST without the fears to get Busted...

I think the key here is 'evolution' and not 'revolution'. We have
sufficient momentum and sufficient users with OpenSim that we need
to go out of our way to provide and evolutionary path and that of
necessity must include sufficient documentation to allow our users
to use OpenSim with a reasonable effort.
As we evolve, whether we go away from the UGAIM to BUST or something
else has yet to be determined, and it will be determined by the
users as they adopt one or the other.
So, please figure out how to get two grids using BUST and report
back on their progress.
Given that, please figure out how to get a half-a-dozen early
adopters to test this new logic.
By doing that, the 'evolution' will take care of itself and we will
have a much better product.

Yes, you (Melanie) have mentioned 'new' protocols but afaik this is
the first I've heard of this. Changing OGS1
protocols is a big upheaval and should be properly laid out and peer
reviewed before work starts. not after or during.
Going down the wrong path now will be expensive later on.
If you can point me towards existing documentation on this (if it's
part of BUST) that would be appreciated.
Thankyou for writing the existing documentation on BUST. I'm sure
if the new technology is well received then we can
deprecate and remove the old servers.
I also don't like the name 'BUST'. As we've already *very
extensively seen*, we should not assume a sense of humour on
the part of others. A compromise would be to change the server
prompt.

Absolutely. Asking for a general vote on progress is like proposing
a vote on motherhood and apple pie. We can only
make meaningful votes on specific proposals.
I'm actually now confused on whether you're asking for a vote on
eventually deprecating the old servers (but not before
another vote) or on changing basic grid protocols. I assume it is
the former rather than the latter.
