Reviews run for a minimum of one week. The outcome of the review is decided on this date. This is the last day to make comments or ask questions about this review.

Considering the close relation of the EMF-IncQuery and VIATRA projects (both in terms of common committers and technological dependencies), we are proposing to combine the renaming with a restructuring that involves merging EMF-IncQuery into VIATRA and introducing a new component structure.

The only major drawback of this restructuring will be that we will break the API compatibility for the existing users of EMF-IncQuery. For this reason, we plan to provide a migration assistant feature that can be used by our users to upgrade their existing projects automatically, similarly to what we have already built for previous versions of EMF-IncQuery.

The EMF-IncQuery project will merge into the VIATRA project, and will be referred to as VIATRA Incremental Queries. As part of this restructuring, the VIATRA project will graduate and the EMF-IncQuery project will be terminated.
