Hi, In the light of the recent Phabricator comment from @Johnmclear <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415237#11947412> we will get in touch with the Etherpad developers and take some extra time to review our options. The plan is to move forward with the best possible course of action before the end of the quarter (June 30th). I will post an update here once available.
