I'm digging up the WFS/WFS-NG datastore fight and want to sort it out once and for all. I am compiling a comprehensive list of what needs to happen for WFS-NG to become acceptable: https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/WFS-to-WFS-NG-upgrade Any feedback/additions to this list are more than welcome.

Andrea can I ask you some clarification on this,

What do you mean with compatibility checks. I ported all offline and online unit/integration tests from the WFS to the WFS-NG module. What exactly needs to happen in addition to that to prove backwards compatibility? Do we need or have people to test with real configurations?

With respect to the naming colon/underscore issue, I am willing to take care of this now as well. I prefer Andrea's proposed solution (see the link above) because it proposes a single solution for all datastores that may not always be GML-compatible. But Andrea, how did you envision a user turning this option on or off in practice? It is up to the datastores themselves? Or is there a single, centralised configuration in Geoserver for all datastores? Or ...?

Kind Regards
Niels
