once apis are defined as supported for 3rd parties - hey are set in stone. breaking them means breaking 3rd party apps. that is simply unacceptable. breaking of 3rd party apps simply shouldn't happen unless there literally is zero other choice (eg we had a design bug that there was no fix for no matter how ugly the workaround). > If we find conflict issues, we will need to fix them and while we want > to protect legacy APIs, that might not be always 100% possible. this should be done long before it gets to tizen git repos - at the design stage for such changes. i'm saying that adding review and process at this stage of the pipeline is worrying about the train long after it's left the station. :) > Regards > > Dominig > _______________________________________________ > Dev mailing list > Dev@lists.tizen.org > https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev -- The above message is intended solely for the named addressee and may contain trade secret, industrial technology or privileged and confidential information otherwise protected under applicable law including the Unfair Competition Prevention and Trade Secret Protection Act.
