I see these issues having time within incubation to be sorted out. I also see a high likelihood that the community will succeed in those efforts. Further, I think over time (several years of rollout), we can get NetBeans better integrated into the kinds of workflow and bits-hosting approaches that work well for us, and possibly reduce external dependencies. One of the "big" cost items is MacOS build boxes. We can/will look into those, and see about cost-sharing those with other PMCs who want them. But *if* push comes to shove, we just won't do it. That will hurt, yes. And then we can all start fighting :-) ... Seriously tho ... who is gonna block NetBeans coming to the ASF on the potential of not having MacOS build slaves? Thus, the three big-hit items (plugins, stats, macos) all seem to be reasonably solved, or at least workable. Cheers, -g
