I would like to drop that, since it does make things more difficult for future developments, and I honestly haven't done any testing against BB for some months now. Right now the development focus for Hobbit is the "behind-the-scenes" server functions, but should the focus at some point go towards new features in the user-interface part of Hobbit, it would be difficult to stay backwards compatible with Big Brother in the sense that you can run e.g. the Hobbit version of bbgen on top of Big Brother.
So what do you say - can I drop the BB support and focus entirely on a pure Hobbit environment?
Since there is no development effort on BB since a very long time, and because of the license problem (BB = BTF and Hobbit = GPL), i would suggest to drop BB support and focus on pure Hobbit.
