You're not suggesting that I'm not pragmatic are you? :-P
Of course not. I was referring to how I approach this case, i.e. let the termination happen. When someone shows up willing to do the work the p2 download sites and source code can be restored.
I also know
for a fact that there are actual consumers who will miss the p2
update sites going offline.
I am not convinced of this alone as a reason to keep things running. It sounds more like a technical dependency that should be made non-critical. But I can't speak for those consumers.
I assume we're not actually in a hurry and that IDE WG can be
given time to consider the best course of action.
I doubt there is a hurry after two years without any infra or activity. However, keeping things running for another year because some discussion might happen in the IDE WG might be consuming some EF staff time that could be better spend elsewhere. I don't know, though. Just guessing.
