Hi.

There's clearly big difference between split BSC/MSC and NITB
(config files, support for SCCP-lite etc) which makes the transition rather lengthy.

What about SGSN and related stuff? It's been transitioned to libvlr at the time of
split as well, but does this transition have any user-visible consequences?

If not than we could transition gradually:
* make SGSN build optional (--enable-gprs?) in openbsc repo
* start building OsmoSGSN from osmo-sgsn repo instead of openbsc (both .deb and OE)
* test and make sure that it works the same way (both on sysmobts and on debian)
* disable SGSN build by default and announce that patches should be made against new repo
* remove gprs code from openbsc leaving placeholder readme with the link to new repo

All the steps above are unrelated to BSC/MSC items so it could be done independently.
