I'm not much of a Turbine hacker, but I do know Avalon. Perhaps I can help answer some questions...

Hi Siegfried,
I am a beginner in avalon containers (but I'm studying them deeper now), so I cannot tell you much, but here is what I managed to do or understand :
- as you said it seems that ECM container is deprecated.
ECM is depricated. Fortress is it's replacement. However, Avalon is trying to simplify things by consolidating our container projects. The current dream is to get Merlin in shape as a replacement for all the others. It's currently not quite there yet (hopefully soon), so existing ECM/Fortress/Phoenix (all Avalon containers) users might want to keep using their current container until we provide a proper migration path. New users and developers are encouraged to jump right into Merlin with the understanding that some changes are in the pipeline.
the link "http://avalon.apache.org/product/containers/"; tell us that now Merlin is the next container solution, but Eric said in some posts that Merlin seems not to be mature enough, so perhaps Fortress is a good choice for you...
Merlin is certainly stable and mature enough for general use. Fortress has been out a bit longer, but not by much. Again, as I mentioned before, if you're starting out with Avalon, I would suggest going with Merlin (and posting questions to the Avalon user list).
As for the Turbine-specific questions, I'm afraid I just can't answer them at the moment.
