Aaron, please use the proper terms. 

Merlin was discontinued in early October, Metro is a fork based on Merlin, but 
impossible to make 100% compatible, namely facilities and other extensions. 

Phoenix was discontinued more than a year ago, Loom is a fork based on Phoenix 
and I assume they have similar compatibility issues in the container 
extension areas.

ECM/Fortress has been moved to Excalibur.


I.e.  Avalon has become Excalibur and in the process kicked out Phoenix and 
Merlin... and the people behind them. I would even call it balkanization 
along lines of people, which one director point out to me being unacceptable. 
But then again, I have used up my credit points in the upper tiers, so I 
don't expect them to see it the same way.
