Re: [platform-text-dev] [platform-ui-dev] [proposal] Unite platform text

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pascal,

the content type patch was merged by Brian and I I think it save to
say that Brian is our most experienced developer in platform ui.  See
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/54257/. So I think your argument is
invalid for content type.

Best regards, Lars
