@LongMan I'd say that your viewpoint makes perfect sense as long as the media importing and library integration feature remains a fork and your primary objective is readyness to publish a working version for the next major release. If you stop updating point releases you are probably going to diminish the user base of testers, which is important as long as testing is your objective. I don't think there is any right or wrong answer to your question, just the question where @Montellese wants to take it.

I've been running this feature on my test system successfully for some time and liked it a lot. I cannot use it in my CoreElec living room production system as I have neither managed to merge the the Media Importer branch into CoreElec or to integrate the Media Imorter LibreElec version into CoreElec. I guess in that sense, whatever happens will in fact not make a difference to me. I won't be able to use it on my production system.

Not sure this is helpful, @LongMan. As you now, I've been thinking for quite some time time that this feature is definitely worth upstreaming. But I also understand that there are still reasons for not upstreaming it. I keep reading this thread as I'm interested to see where it goes. The beauty of Open Source is that all these decisions reside with the developer. I'll patiently watch and wait from the side-line...   ;-)
