Hi All,
Yet again there was another user who had downloaded the old .NET
client and was having trouble with it.
There is nobody there to support these users and these clients have been buggy.
Aidan made a valiant effort to maintain these with contributions from
one or two folks.
But I doubt we have enough to maintain these clients to the same
quality offered by our other clients.
The situation is now even more complicated with the WCF and the new
.NET binding.
These approaches seems to be more long term (and I certainly hope it will).
In any case we don't have the resources to maintain 4 code bases.
Hence I propose the following measures and I'd like to know what the
community thinks.
1. Remove the 0-8/0-10 .NET clients from the download page.
We know they are buggy and there is nobody to support them. I
think we do more harm to our reputation by leaving them there.
2. Remove the old 0-8/0-10 .NET clients from the trunk.
2.1 As per Apache rules we have to ship a source tarball anytime
we do a release.
I don't think it's appropriate the to ship unmaintained and
buggy code.
2.2 Trunk is for active development. I don't think we should
carry dead code.
