Maintain native KFS | New features are developed from KFS team | Sustaining team must maintain upgrade path. | May impact timeliness of new OLE features. | Do new features driven by financial system outweigh the cost of managing the upgrade path for the sustaining team? |
Fork from native KFS | No KFS upgrade path to maintain | Sustaining team must develop new functionality or merge contributed KFS code. What happens when KFS has to be upgraded to use JPA? | Desired KFS features may take longer to get. |

Jonathan shares concerns with upgrade path to OLE FS below, from email dated 7/19/2012.
From the beginning, I had thought that I was converting KFS to form a base on which the OLE project would start. I had hoped that it would be taken and modified to suit OLE. But, very quickly it came out from the functional committee that they wanted to keep as close to baseline on the core code as possible so that OLE could take advantage of upgrades as they were developed. So, that forced the development style to be more along the lines of an implementing school, extending and adding to their own objects and tables rather than making the more simple modifications to the original code.
