Hi Dan,
In ticket 2787 you told me that the gateway _server_
is being
deprecated;
I said we are hoping to deprecate the gateway server and then I went on to explain that it
would be replaced, not turned down.
Not only is the server very old, but the code it is running has bugs (as you pointed out).
I would like to see it replaced with more modern hardware running updated software that is
easier to maintain and update.
However, this is not a priority at the moment, so very unlikely to be worked on in the
short to medium term.

I imagine I misinterpreted that to mean the gateway
_service_. However, in light of what you wrote above, I can interpret
this one of two other ways: a) the physical server is being deprecated
and replaced, or b) the existing AMPRGW software is being replaced (or
there are plans to replace it). It would be good to have a solid
understanding of what the actual plan is.
This is an illustrative example of why, IMHO, it's better to have
technical discussions in the open.
