The future of efa

When efa rides into the sunset, what alternatives exist? Other products, other maintainer(s), forking, ...?

I am the OPs manager for a company relying on efa for our customer services. We need a solid future for our products with something like efa in place and also with expertise we could rely on.

What would be our options? Anyone here I could have a grounded discussion with?

Out only valid pay solution would be switchung to hornetsecurity.
Or alternative keeping efa secure alive for ourself (no fork -> just os/packages/funtions/configs).

It will be difficult and or some pretty difficult roads ahead with out Shawn, but I am certainly up for the challenge.

I have asked Shawn in a private message about some of the details about who is managing things and how best to keep this going. I certainly have some ideas and would support putting together a community meeting to discuss it with those interested. So, lets talk...
