Yes (I coded it). The main reason it didn’t survive is because several skins
didn’t survive and in the end we’ve been supporting only 1 skin for years.
The question are:
1) whether we’re going to support several skins in the future or not? We’ve
already said we’re going drop Colibri when Flamingo is ready. Supporting
several skins in the test framework is a lot of effort.
2) if we want to support several skins in the test fwk when is the right time.
ATM we’re late for Flamingo as the default skin for 6.2 and doing this in 6.2
would mean postponing 6.2’s release by at least 1 to 2 weeks.
