Re: [epp-dev] Future of the JavaScript package

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mickael,

I think as long as the user finds the download via the download page,
the user does not care if it is an EPP or not. So will JavaScript
package still be listed on the download page?

Best regards, Lars

Additionally to this being extra work, it's also relatively stressful work: adds a lot of mails & notifications, requires planning, following deadlines, basically taking attention and energy that could be spent elsewhere.

It doesn't mean the whole EPP package must be abandoned, it just means that I/our team doesn't want to spend effort on that any more and people who want this package continued must now do this maintenance work.
