Comment(by atagar):

 My plan for stem was to...

 a. Implement the Controller class, which will be very similar to the
 TorCtl Connection class. This will take a couple months to implement after
 I'm no longer distracted with GSoC, metrics-lib, and safe cookie. (hint:
 help would be appreciated)

 b. Migrate arm to stem to work out problems with the API.

 c. Work on a PathSupport counterpart then migrate TorBEL.

 d. Tidy up any other features that we need for parity, settle on an API,
 then make a release announcement.

 Note that I won't have an API set in stone until I make a release
 announcement. However, if you'd like BridgeT to be an alpha client then I
 can help you with migrating after the Controller class is done, then
 submit patches to you if I make any breaking changes.

 Cheers! -Damian
