It is incredibly tempting to keep removing crusty bits like the XML and S2S as we are genuinely so much better off now having made so much tech debt progress. Huge thanks to you in particular, David! But I do agree with your view.
I think right on the heels of the last vestige of old UI/content viewing we push for the official 2.0 release. I'd actually think we consider a 3.0 to be one year later which dumps complex config models and S2S (at least the client impl) and continues cleanup but otherwise incurs no user/migration impact. But that is a fairly off the cuff mention. Thanks On Fri, Aug 9, 2024 at 7:21 AM David Handermann <[email protected]> wrote: > Arpad, > > Thanks for initiating the discussion!
