While you are at it... what about the URI ↔︎ IRI mega thread of yore?
What's the current thinking, if any?
My current thinking is a switch to IRI once some details are ironed out. People who are concerned about this can voice their concerns on the listhere, or (more preferrably) in the issue tracker for this:
