The application interface might not change, but the core code might.  
Oops, application interface, I was thinking user interface, no, the 
application interface might just change if a change results in better 
performance.  the same for core code.  It is best not to assume 
anything, as in the old saying, if you assume, you might make an ass of 
u and me. 


I think it would be best to consider any mutual hosting to be a 
temporary arrangement, since at some point in the future it might no 
longer be practical.  Also, at some point it might no longer be needed, 
as both projects become more mature, they might acquire the 
infrastructure to host whatever is needed on their own.
