Jonah is still going to be available with CDSA 1.2.

I am no longer with Iris, so I can not officially speak for Iris/Lotus/IBM,
but I do not believe they
are going to dedicate the resources to port Jonah to CDSA 2.0. But they
would probably not
mind (and would probably encourage ) someone else to doing it. Having not
looked into CDSA 2.0
at all I have no idea how difficult the task would be. There is also no
guarantee that the move to
CDSA 2.0 would make Jonah instantly port to Linux. The use of the STL is
not only in the core CDSA
component, but in some of the providers that were written for Jonah. So
these providers would need
to be ported to CDSA 2.0 and possibly re-written to not use the STL (or
find a STL that GCC likes, which
would probably be a more useful exercise).
