Alex North commented on WAVE-126:
---------------------------------
Dummy wavelets are old cruft. I recommend you try to remove all references to
them.
In very early versions of FedOne, the first open source prototype, there was no
indexing or inbox (or persistence). A magic dummy wavelet was generated that
contained information about what was in a client's inbox. The wavelet was never
explicitly represented or stored, just deltas were computed and sent to the
client.
Now that I gather WIAB has more reasonable indexing going, dummy wavelets have
no place.

> Key: WAVE-126
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAVE-126
> Project: Wave
> Issue Type: Bug
> Priority: Minor
>
> I have no idea what these are for - perhaps because in the old protocol the
> wavelet id field was not optional, and non-wavelet updates (like channel ids)
> needed to fill it in?
> In any case, these dummy wavelets are unnecessary with the new protocol. I'm
> mainly filing this bug to give a reference against which the hack code in the
> client can be marked.
