Hello, since Flink is mentioned several times in the proposal I feel the need to point out that we're actively looking into outright replacing Akka.
We need something that is guaranteed to work once the 2.6.x support provided by Lightbend ends next year, and with Akka being used in the very core of Flink this transition has to start early. We can't really take a gamble on this fork still being active/useful in a year. My current expectation is that we'd only use Pekko as an emergency replacement for older releases when the Lightbend support ends and a critical issue was found (which is quite unlikely to be honest).
