Corey,
I agree that the term "near" to "maintentance mode" will probably not be
within the "near" expectation for most folks.
We agreed to exclude redmine issue with external trackers associated to it
for Satellite and do a evaluation of those on a 1x1 basis.
However I don't think that anything in the foreseeable future changing our
resource dedication to Pulp 3. Any changes in Pulp 2 are probably yet to be
requested now (issue not written yet) or in those items we will review on a
1x1 basis.
Does that help?
Robin
