I don't understand why you want to remove things that are not actively
supported any more?
It the project choice and freedom to do so if they cannot sustain the
maintenance anymore.
Thus I can definitely understand why, but I do not agree it it s the
right thing to do.
The fact that no-one currently plans to making changes in those parts
doesn't make that they need to be removed. RSE is a mature project,
and in its current state, it provides satisfaction to some users, and
I believe it could easily keep on providing value without changing a
single line of code nor doing any rebuild. The project is still useful
independently of whether it has active contributors or not.
+100.
If it is possible that other active projects (such as TCF and
org.eclipse.remote) could be used in place of RSE, maybe it would be
better to direct effort towards these?
+1 for focusing on a single project to do one thing, but if RSE is
currently the most advanced on this topic (at least it has FTP/SFTP
support), I don't see the benefit on re-implementing the same thing in
other project, instead of just using what's already there.
*someone* need to implement an maintain it. RSE has always been a
complex beast, so if another project has an alternative and simpler
approach I think that is worth exploring - but for Mars I think we
should keep RSE around and work on a migration plan to something else.
