Shash:

The Avalon community took a vote on this subject and decided to resolve 
things with one architecture, one platform, one container. That decision 
has ripple effect which your currently witnessing - but the upside is 
that people are actually making decisions based on fact:

     * one avalon RI

This isn't about setting a context to get framework right - its about 
going way beyond framework and doing what Avalon has been chartered to do:

    * component and service management

On the context of one RI and our charter, we do have a responsibility to 
provide a viable migration path.  I hope that you'll contribute to that 
because there a lot of benefit in getting the migration process right. 
That benefit is all about one community working together on one 
platform.  Looking further out its about going beyond "containers" - 
focusing much more on the bigger picture of an globally integrated 
service management environment.  From this perspective the current 
issues concerning migration are short term and addressable - and a 
necessary part of moving on.

Cheers, Stephen.
