Sorry for the failed attempt. This is the repeated attempt. Certainly worth the cause! ;-)

lava-server and lava-dispatcher have been merged into a single source repository - lava
If you ask me, this is the (very) questionable decision. Indeed!?
lava-server is the front-end manager of the whole Lava test environment, while lava-dispatcher is the back-end. Connected/splitted by ZMQ protocol. And... They should be separately maintained, since they represent (very) different things. Essentially, they do (very) different tasks. They are, after all, apples and oranges.
In other words, if you update/buy advanced/more expensive apples, you also force testers to update for nuthin'/buy for the loss the same oranges, they had before?!
Is it the wise decision???
Two cents worth lamenting/analysis, Zoran _______

If you've noticed a few reviews being abandoned, this is why.

lava-coordinator will follow in time, to ease the update of lava-coordinator to Python3.
This will, in future, allow easier testing of device integrations by allowing the lava_scheduler_app unit tests to be linked to the lava_dispatcher unit tests and have a single review which adds both sides of the device support.
There will be a lot of testing, as normal, so staging will be moving to packages built from the new source repository tree.
The old lava-server.git and lava-dispatcher,git repositories will become read-only and will get no further code changes. All changes will be done in lava.git
https://git.linaro.org/lava/lava.git/
The documentation will be updated over the next few days.
