> Here is the technical justification for my -1 on removing CoS: > > * It is an extremely useful feature for large projects where a clean build would take several minutes. > > * The feature has remained stable for the last 15 years. The main requirement for maintenance is to make sure new changes don't actively break it. That's a discussion to move to the mailing list. I will argue that both those points, particularly the second, are technically invalid. > Here is the technical justification for a -1 on _deprecating_ CoS: > > * The word "deprecated" has special meaning that suggests there is consensus to remove the feature in the future. But we don't have consensus on that. That is correct, and we should probably move to make such decisions via the mailing list, via discussion, consensus, and (if necessary) vote, similarly to the JDK 8 issue. The profiler and the changes in #8396 are possibly other things that should be decided there too. For now, your caveat makes sense, if being a little long! :smile: Please liaise with @mbien about the change, who will make the PR for delivery, and get it opened ASAP if it's going in RC3. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
