Yes, I've been wanting to ask John for quite a while now about it, just always kept forgetting. The reason I doubted is because there's already pandoc-markdown.

Yes, I've been wanting to ask John for quite a while now about it, just always kept forgetting. The reason I doubted is because there's already pandoc-markdown... Has he stated anything about the future between pandoc and commonmark? I imagine support for commonmark is likely, but is pandoc-flavoured markdown then doomed? (I don't know how similar commonmark is to pandoc-markdown, but when I checked out commonmark at an early stage, it did handle lists differently, so I have reason to believe there would be more differences. [But I actually prefer how commonmark handles lists though.])
