How to change ace2editor etherpad to something else?

Question

I see that on ./etherpad/src/static/js/pad_editor.jsit is called a,

  self.ace = new Ace2Editor();

Is it possible to simply turn on and call another editor (e.g. codemirror)?

Answer 1

The consensus on the mailing list is that Etherpad and ACE are so closely intertwined that it is probably hopeless right now.
