Advantages: 1. Simplify the compiler code (fewer branches). 2. Shrink the backlog.
Disadvantages: 1. Folks who need cocoa support are stuck at 0.12.0 General sentiment in discussions was that cocoa is no longer being used and everybody is transitioning to Swift. [ ] +1 Deprecate cocoa as of 0.12.0, use swift next release. [ ] -1 Keep cocoa support in thrift going forward. The vote is open until Friday, January 04, at 20:00 UTC due to the holidays and passes if at least three positive votes from the active PMC group are cast. For folks not in the Thrift PMC, your comments are still quite welcome on the matter, and may help folks make a decision. Thanks, Jim King, PMC Member, Apache Thrift
