Hah, and then I find @rlkoshak’s response in this post:

> Would you please tell me why you are converting your rules? Will Rules DSL be obsolete in the near future? Or is JSR223 so much better? What would you recommend? Should a beginner (me) with little coding skills try to learn the new language and do the covertion too?

I read that thread when it was first posted, but didn’t think to return to it. Ironically, I thought about posting my questions there when I first read it, but thought it might be better as a separate topic.

I’m leaving this here in case anyone else wants to chime in.
