You do have a full year of vanilla. seems like plenty of time to do what you need to do. Do you think it should be a revolving server, like green? How long before you reboot the server? And would people really be in the mood to reboot so soon? At least by start of green 2.0 people may be more interested in jumping back in (After 2+ years since the last vanilla experience)
The timeline towards the end of green seems a bit weird though.
We have:
12 months of vanilla
7 months of kunark
18 months of velious ??
I would think at the time of the last patch (the time green reaches blue patch) you should just merge it and reboot green. Then Green is in vanilla for a higher % of each cycle. Probably more people are playing green for Vanilla than they are for "fresh velious" right?
