Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] CVS support plugin discontinuation - SimR

Hi

I thought that Open Source was friendly; not a facilitator for a 
proprietary business case.

The CVS deprecation was announced in September 2021. It announced 
removal of the ongoing distribution, not refactoring and breakage.

My understanding of the disciplined deprecation was that two major 
releases were required after an announcement, but since e6 is impossibly 
distant the platform has taken to breakage in minor versions. 
Nonetheless I would expect two releases on the yearly cadence so 
breakage within 18 months seems very wrong and to merit a regression fix.

    Regards
