+We are not yet at that level of details, afaik, and as I said, we are
+quite busy with others stuff.
+
+My own opinion is that the issue that lead to the creation of PLF would

+
+Not to mention that PLF has a cool logo, and that's a good reason to not
+drop it :p  
+
+But you should maybe ask to PLF directly on PLF discuss ?
