I was going to say, this isn't a switch from APL to ESL. I doubt I'd
advocate for that switch ever. This about LGPL to EPL, from a weak copyleft
to a permissive license.
(The general thinking is that the permissive license makes communities
easier to grow and with the right motivation, though it really depends on
the circumstances.)
EPL is a well designed permissive license for tool platforms that support
plugins. I encourage you to read it and we can discuss how it applies. I'll
save my commentary until then.

For clarification, Forge is currently LGPL :)
