Yes. Fusion has been here with us for almost 2 years now and
the code is very mature. I've already used it in a couple of projects
and it is holding up pretty well. If possible, I'd like to
transition to it as soon as possible. I tried to contact Jaakko
a few times. I'm not sure if he received my emails. The
last time we got in touch, he's very enthusiastic about it.
In fact, he co-authored the tuples part of Fusion (along
with Jeremiah Willcock.
