Many thanks to Fabrice and Matthias, along with the
rest of the AFT5 team;
it's been a long road to take, but we've reached the end of it whole and
hearty thanks to you :).
+1, kudos for getting the new UI and backend out the door and slogging
through this project at a ridiculously low resourcing level (sorry -
the idea was to run it as a lower priority / slow burn project, but we
won't do it again like that). We've done everything we can to make
moderation easy, automate filtering of common noise, etc. Now it's up
to the communities to decide whether AFT5 will have a near-term
future. I hope so, as I still think the long term benefits outweigh
the disadvantages, but I understand the community concern of dealing
with an inherently limited signal/noise ratio.
Let's continue to keep an eye on critical bugs but looking forward to
shifting our full attention to completing the Echo rollout and
starting work on Flow.
