Hi,

Interesting discussion, many important points have already been mentioned
(excellent support, open source, much more than a protocol, etc.)

I just wanted to add yet another ³small² EPICS customer: the European
Spallation Source [1]

Project lifetime:
Construction: 2014-2025 (early operation with first beam lines starting in
2019)
Planned active lifetime of the facility: 40 years (i.e., until 2065)
Construction cost: about 1.8 billion Euro
Collaboration of 17 partner countries (at present.)

Cheers,

Timo
