Yes, unless cases like the new perspectives, which did not start.

I took a quick look, but I did not find use cases similar to mine, to fully understand how it is useful.
My plug-ins use multiple (project/workspace/eclipse) stores, and lots of variables.

Preferably not.

For the moment we are at 5.2.1, and the GitHub PR to rename the features was not merged, so all possibilities are open.
If necessary we can also retire Embed CDT from SimRel and/or from the public download page; for the 2020-12 release we can publish it manually as before, which will give us time to work on a separate 'v6' branch until we are happy with the result.
