[eclipse-dev] A Call for Caution

[Wassim Melhem <wassimm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to propose a discussion topic for tomorrow's architecture
call:

The SWT team has requested the removal of the SWT launcher for 3.3 M4:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=166865

Questions I would like to propose for the discussion:

1. Is the new alternative clearly superior to the SWT launcher?

2. Are we addressing a problem that does not exist?

3. Should we ask for input/feedback from the community before the removal
of the SWT launcher as to avoid another riot?

Thanks,
Wassim.
