Re: making a release

I just found this your original message, Gmail placed it in Spam folder
and I don't check it often.

But, since Alexandre Franke already addressed most of the points, I can
only add few thoughts:

- I'm surprised neither by this Oracle's decision to remove a package
because it's "no-longer maintained" nor by the fact that it provides
only an outdated version of the package (simultaneously!), but if your
org has a support contract with them there must be a reason...

- I doubt you can "prove" to them that Planner is "still maintained",
but I can assure you I've met some people here burning for the project
maybe even more than I do, so who knows, I certainly don't want to let
it disappear
