"the modern era"
Ah; such an awful pity that both Thee and Me have more important things
to do;
we could have such fun playing "semantic squash".
Best, Richmond.

In this case it means when you take into account the number of global uses of
the (now in the modern era) non-standard inks / blend modes we provide... Does
that percentage justify the reimplementation effort and continued maintenance
(particularly when they have been explicitly deprecated for years) when it
could be used on more widely usable things :)

What does that word "fair" mean? I have always wondered whether
it isn't a bit like "luck", something nebulous (c.f. "rights") to cover up
a multitude of rather more difficult ideas.

To be fair, the docs claim the legacy blend modes have been deprecated
since LC 5! We've supported thm for quite a long time post-deprecation...

Oh no! I use the legacy blendModes all the time!

Read issue #82 here: https://goo.gl/8HNhau
Looks like Skia Graphics Library dropped support
for some features and LC9 will not show anymore
these types of gradients:
'XY', 'SqrtXY', 'Diamond' and 'Spiral'
and most of these legacy Blend Modes:
clear, noop, notSrcAnd, notSrcAndReverse,
notSrcCopy, notSrcOr, notSrcOrReverse,
notSrcXor, reverse, set, srcAnd,
srcAndReverse, srcCopy, srcOr,
srcOrReverse, srcXor, blend, addPin
addOver, subPin, transparent
adMin, addMax
If you check all paint features available
from Skia Library: https://skia.org/user/api/skpaint
there are many useful features that LC9
could implement, like:
setTextScaleX (and setTextScaleY)
SkPathEffect
SkLine2DPathEffect
SkDiscretePathEffect
SkComposePathEffect
SkSumPathEffect
Two-Point Conical Gradient Shader
Fractal Perlin Noise Shader
Turbulence Perlin Noise Shader
Compose Shader
Blur Mask Filter
Could LC implement first some of
these Skia features like Perlin Noise
and Blur filter?
