I think it's too late to ask about interest in Sakai CLE 2.6 and 2.7 
without contributions to support needs.

Out of the 50 most recent 2.6.4 in a Fix Version, only 4 are newer than 
07-Oct-2011.

The 2.7.3 count is 45 newer than 07-Oct-2011 and 35 newer than 19-Dec-2011.

AFAICT we've got nobody actively merging into 2.6.x or 2.7.x across tools.

The 2.8.2 count is 55 newer than 19-Dec-2011. This is where I see active 
maintenance happening.

We need to be open about both needs and contributions. Imbalance between 
the two will lead to failure.

We might want to ask about CLE and hybrid, but asking about explicit 
interest in OAE is not our role, AFAICT.
