If it was just me I said just drop it. But if we really want to have a smooth path, we can just choose the same path as for eet file format change, drop a warning for a few month, then disable its support by default in configure and later completely remove it. During the time, embryo binding will not receive any more improvement. -- Cedric BAIL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
