In March 2019, the Technical Advisory Committee approved the following:
* A new Succession library (v7) was created which does not include the Initial Community Library (ICL) or references to the ICL.
* A new and separate ICL which can be modified for different situations without affecting any other extensions except succession extensions was created and given its own repository.
* Age-only and Biomass and NECN and PnET succession extensions were updated to reference succession library v7.
* The harvest extensions were recompiled with succession library v7 referenced, otherwise no additional changes. No other extensions access the succession library.
The reasons in brief: The no-spin-up used by NECN and now PnET required a tweaked version of the succession / initial community library. Issues occurred during planting as the harvest extensions use the standard succession library (v6).
The consequences of NOT changing the succession library v6 configuration:
* NECN and PnET cannot use planting
