Hello, devs.
I would like to share some insights about User Devfiles [1]
As some of you probably knows we start progressing on this [2] in the current sprint.
The plan is to adapt Che6 [3] factories to use Devfiles.
And I would like to share some of Che Platform team and my thoughts on this.
At this moment Factory object looks like this:

factory : {
  "v"         : 4.0,            (1)
  "workspace" : {},             (2)
  "policies"  : {},             (3)
  "ide"       : {},             (4)
  "creator"   : {},             (5)
}

We would like to:
1: keep the version. Increase number from 4.0 to 5.0
2. workspace - replaced with devfile. Same object as it used in Workspace API
3. policies - remain untouched
4. ide -  to remove it, since this is going to be addressed in Devfile 2.x
5. create - remain untouched

Any opinions about that?
