Philipp, Ed, Apologies for the confussion my email has provoked. Of course, I didn't want to say that the current code is deprecated (the components have not been marked as such, there has not been any announce in the cross-project list, etc). IMHO, it's a matter of time, tough. The main reason: the only active committer (to be more specific, developer) is working on a new implementation which is/will be compliant with future OMG specifications. > How can we propose something mature as deprecated if > - many other projects relay on it Deprecation precisely makes clients know that the current implementation won't be continued and there is a new implementation to which they must migrate. Although such a migration should be done as soon as possible (to benefit from the new implementation and enhancements) the clients have, If my memory doesn't fail me, around 3 releases (3 years time) before the components are removed in a new release. > - the replacement is neither completely finished, nor its completion if fully funded? I hope that having a fully OMG compliant implementation is funded enough. Of course, I'm not going to be the guy who will announce such a deprecation, since I'm not working in the new implementation. Again, apologies for the confussion. Cheers, Adolfo. El 04/02/2012 13:00, Philipp W. Kutter | Montages AG escribió: Hi, Ed. --
