OpenChurch 2x Roadmap (Core 7x)

I would like to do a 7x-2x version of the OpenChurch build prior to build an 8x version. The 8x version would eventually use the same principles the as the 7x version. The main priority is essentially to vastly simplify the build of OpenChurch while still preserving most of the functionality and implementing a better responsive layer.

The 7x-1x branch would only have maintenance fixes and the 2x branch may or may not have an upgrade path. Ideally I would have some kind of a reasonable upgrade path to move more users to the 2x platform.

Theme:
-Omega 4
-Fully responsive
-Starter theme goes away (in favor of just using CSS injector)
-Eventually color options will be added to the theme settings page

Modules:
-addressfield
-admin_menu
-backup_migrate
-calendar
-css_injector
-cck (maybe)
-content_taxonomy
-colorbox
-ctools
-date
-defaultcontent (maybe)
-email
-entity
-features
-filefield_sources
-fontyourface
-flexslider
-flexslider_views_slideshow
-libraries
-link
-media (2x)
-media_vimeo
-media_youtube
-menu_block
-menu_breadcrumb
-modernizr
-nodequeue
-panels
-pathauto
-pathologic
-plup (maybe)
-plupload (maybe)
-references
-references_dialog
-rss_field_formatters
-rules
-sharethis
-simplenews
-strongarm
-styles
-superfish
-tinynav
-token
-uuid (maybe)
-views
-views_bulk_operations (maybe)
-views_slideshow
-webform
-wysiwyg

You can see its still a pretty long list of modules. Some notable changes:
1. Context gets removed entirely in favor of the core block system. This will annoy advanced users but advanced users know how to install configure context, panels.
2. Skinr/Fusion/Fusion Accelerator gets removed completely in favor of Omega 4
3. Responsive behavior much more consistent
4. I will remove a lot of configuration from the Features module in favor of leaving that in the install profile. I would love to kill openchurch_defaults at some point.

I might have to do this in stages to make it easier. The first stage would be to replace the theme layer and context. For backwards compatibility I might be able to just leave the old modules and programmatically disable them so that users will be able to migrate to the new platform by only running update.php.
