Shane,
Thank you the perspective.  We started this discussion during the Crowbar 
Hack-a-thon in Hong Kong and did not resolve it.  Unfortunately, there's not a 
"makes everyone happy" answer and, as you point out, we need to accept that and 
move forward.
That said, forward progress is not really blocked yet.  We've made great 
strides with Crowbar 2 (including recent installs) and it's buildable within 
the current Crowbar 1 for those brave enough.
I've come to the conclusion that there are fixes that require a more distinct 
split between the two code bases and I'd be interested in your (and the 
communities') thoughts.  Along those lines, I'm starting a new thread titled 
"Rationalizing Crowbar Project Infrastructure for our new code base" as the 
(re)kick off for that discussion.  I hope it addresses the concerns that you've 
raised.
I want to add that I 100% agree with your sentiment - time for discussion is 
closing.
Thanks again for speaking up!
Rob

All,

It seems that there is a significant amount of confusion or maybe more 
acurately; disagreement on how to maintain the Crowbar 1.x vs. the Crowbar 2.x 
products going forward.

I realize that there are complexities and issues with either course.  Is 
someone within the Crowbar community going to take ownership of this, and help 
define the direction/processes going forward?  I'm not certain how this 
community works - since I'm relatively new to it - so I apologize if I'm 
stepping on toes.

My concern is our use of Crowbar going forward will absolutely be based on
CB2 - and it seems that these issues are holding up the process going forward.  
As an end-user of the product, I'm concerned that this dissent is causing a 
significant hiccup with advancement of the product.

If someone could please step up and help define/usher this process along - that 
would be fabulous...
