Hello,
My 2 cents on it.
Following plan C requires a huge effort from developer, and it may be
unacceptable when FF is close and there're a lot of work to do. So it
looks like the plan B is most convenient for us and eventually we will
have all features in fuel2.
Alternatively we can go with C.. but only if implementing support in
either fuel or fuel2 may be postponed to SCF.
Thanks,
Igor
