Everyone,
Even though there were very good reasons to include the form and geometry bundles from the beginning, I regret that everyone keeps forgetting or ignoring those reasons and that these bundles keep causing trouble for the community. Robert Smith did, in fact, just switch ICE and EAVP over to use January, but he is still testing in a branch and hasn't merged those changes yet.
I don't mind continuing to fix the form and geometry bundles to keep them in January because that only makes them better and helps the project, in my opinion. However, at this point I an not keen on continuing to rehash old arguments about why we wanted a general purpose data structures project in Science because I think it is unhealthy. I would much rather let the January Project Leads and committers make the decision on where the project should go.
Jonah and Peter, I leave it to you at this point to either accept Matt's PR, removing the parts of January that ICE and EAVP currently need, or simply closing it and asking Robert and I to clean up our mess, including addressing issues described in the second and fourth paragraph of Torkild's email. I'll happily support either path.
Jay
