Fw: Apache Extras changes?

FYI in case you are not monitoring Apache Infra ML.

So it seems this means that Apache Extras is doomed :/

Jacques,

Everything is doomed, when you are a pessimist.

But that shouldn't have us in the doldrums and do nothing. Until a
resolution is available, I advice to continue to use as is.

There are other projects (like Apache Camel for example) which still use
camel-extra actively.

I'm also thinking to contribute https://github.com/bibryam/lazyplanner to
extra.

Cheers,
