- Stable for next 18-24 months

- More version to code/test against

- Why? “Monolithic OMERO” is “Deprecated”

- Break into smaller pieces:

- Microservices

- Python plugins

- API addition driven by Apps

- Infrastructure:

- Need easy access to 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 etc

- Apps/microservices deployment
