Really?! No suggestions? Nothing you'd change about it? No capability you want added to it? Or is everyone out in the lovely June weather doing other things? Gosh, that sounds like a great idea.... Never mind, you had your chance! I'm going outside to play!!! 😄

I'm happy to report that "Scenario 2" won't be necessary, as NASA has just communicated to us that SciX funding will continue in 2026 (albeit at a reduced level). Therefore, we will not be forcing astronomers to leave ADS, but rather develop a plan that allows a longer transition.
