What do you mean?  ASLO is based on very old technology, which is going 
to get broken.

10/10 would love to improve ASLO.  I actually did an "ASLO2" effort a 
while ago, although that failed for reasons that are documented on my 
blog.  I would be up for using a AppStream and PackageKit based stack 
to reinvent the activity store experience though.

Re Sugar using python2; a port to python3 was previously investigated 
as part of last years GSoC.  We can port it baring our telepathy-python 
dependency.  (FYI there has not been a commit for telepathy salut or 
gabble in the past 2 years.  Dead upstream?  Still, there are so many 
bugs that affect sugar.  10/10 would love to port collab to using 
something like Matrix.Org - the spec is *way* is more easy to 
understand than telepathy.  Telepathy seems much more complex than 
Sugar needs - we don't need abstract multi-backend support.

Thanks,
Sam
