I'm not following you here, Jeff. How does the statement you cited imply "removing them"? If you're referring to my use of "deprecated," I actually looked up "deprecated" on merriam-webster.com [1] before I wrote that email to make sure it meant what I wanted to say. The relevant definition is:
> to withdraw official support for or discourage the use of (something, such > as a software product) in favor of a newer or better alternative That's exactly what I was putting forth as a *potential* way forward if what the evidence I found suggested was actually true - updating the website to indicate the lack of community support and citing AMQP alternatives as potential replacements. After almost 2 weeks of discussion on this thread that's clearly not the desired path, and that's totally fine. I have absolutely no problem with that outcome. My main goal was simply to clarify the situation so the website could reflect reality. It's worth noting that in that same email I also said: > As I understand it, one of the goals of updating the website is to be more > up-to-date and clear so that users can make informed decisions on what > software to use. In that vein, should we change the "status" of these > projects? And in later emails I said: > We can leave all the NMS & CMS documentation and downloads > available while clearly marking the projects as deprecated/retired. and >The clearer the website is about project status the better it is for users > as they can make informed decisions. and > I just want the website to be clear to users can make informed > decisions about what software they choose I'm not sure if your statement about "keeping you honest" was said in jest or was some kind of figure of speech so I'm not quite sure how to take it. Regardless, I don't think its fair for you to imply that I was/am being dishonest. I've been forthright in an effort to improve the website and work together with the community to clarify the status of these components.
