   @ROBERT-MCDOWELL Yes, there are risks around stability and costs.  There are also risks around security.  What will you do if someone finds a vulnerability in the legacy browser you are using?
   
   Royale is somewhat agnostic about those risks.  All we are doing is preparing libraries so that folks will have to touch their code as little as possible, but I don't think we will ever get it to a "no-touch" level, certainly not in 2 years.  If you see the number of changes to the actual source of [TourDeFlex](http://apacheroyaleci.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com:8080/job/TourDeFlexMigration/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/examples/mxroyale/tourdeflexmodules/bin/js-debug/index.html), you will see that we have a significant amount of it working with only a few changes to the source.  Almost all of the work is in the Royale components.
   
   As more people use (and hopefully help debug and fix) the Royale components, the stability will improve.  And it will improve faster if folks get involved now instead of waiting for the end of 2020.
   
   Another way to think about it is:  If you have to get off of Flash and run in the browser, you will have to run JavaScript.  You can make that happen by changing lots of your code, or change less of your code by using Royale and leveraging the testing of the Royale code paths by others.
