Can you, (or other Launchpad focused minds) give the dev list a follow-up on the successes (and failures) of the move the SoaS distro made to Launchpad. I'd hoped it would generate some clear data on the matter. It's been some time now and I at least would be very interested in how folks (including wider community and deployments) felt the move went.

I'm still concerned that another move for core could kill more contributions than we would gain (assuming there is real measurable benefit in a move) by pulling the rug out under our current core teams workflow (and loosing a month or three trying to correct all the kinks, catch up, and regenerate active participation).

I understand there are admin and maintenance benefits to a Launchpad move, but (and no disrespect to the much appreciated work/time Bernie has put in) I'd hate to see the Sugar team effort diluted and distracted by such change of obvious mid term impact.
