    Hi,

    Let me start by saying that after prototyping with the new DOTS packages I am very impressed with the performance uplift of the new packages and I think you are doing a great job with them.

    I saw this blog post about changes to how packages are shown in the package manager. I think this is an appropriate change, but after reading this forum about which packages will no longer be visible in the package manager I am left with some questions about the ECS package development status and roadmap.

    At Unite Copenhagen the roadmap listed that Entities would be production ready by 2020.1. I understand that any roadmap is a guess, but I am curious about what the nature of the development status of the Entities package currently is.

    What rough stage of development is the Entities package considered to be (completely experimental, alpha, beta)? What is the rough time frame for it returning to the package manager (2021, 2022, 2023, ...)?

    Thank you.
