Completely agreed: As I said, I have seen the error of my ways :-) People arguing for this change are right, and your point about a mindset change is important. Being largely an end-user of Solr, for me it took the arguments put forward in this thread to make me realise the importance of such a mindset change. IMHO, the intermediate step of deprecation is also important so that users who do view Solr as a webapp, manage multiple installations from such a perspective, and might not be subscribed to the dev list are given reasonable warning.
