Hi devs,
I'm opening this vote in order to propose an API breakage consisting in
renaming the extension point "org.xwiki.platform.head" to
"org.xwiki.platform.html.head". The former identifier was introduced too
early by mistake in 11.1RC1 due to an omission by me, apologies, but it
does not fit well because it does not self-explain that it targets the
html head. Here is the extension point documentation page:
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/ExtensionPoint/HTMLHead
As far as I know, there's just one public extension using this extension
point for now, it's the OpenGraph Application, which already uses the
new identifier:
https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/OpenGraph%20Application/
Further information about the change is available in the following pull
request, which requires among other things that this vote passes:
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/1115
Thanks to Caty for spotting the issue and the guidance on how to fix it,
and to Simon and Vincent.
+1 for the API breakage since it's something quite new and it would be
more explicit on the long term.
Simon
Kind regards
Stéphane
