Yes, after discussion it became obvious we needed to support SADA
mainly for Sun Ray users.

Yes.  It would simplify things for the JDS team to only have to
support one set of interfaces.  Needing to support both requires
additional testing and resources fixing bugs, etc.

So we hope that, over time, Sun Ray will migrate to OSS so that
we can eventually drop the need to support Sun Ray interfaces in
the JDS stack.

That said, I don't think there is any rush.  It will likely take
some time for OSS to fully integrate into Nevada anyway.
