Re: [dsdp-tcf-dev] TCF Project Proposal

[Doug Schaefer <cdtdoug@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good question. My intention is to provide a TCF Targets view using the
common navigator that would allow us to provide an extensible UI entry
point to the TCF world without requiring RSE. So the RSE community may
have more of a vested interest in keeping the RSE integration going
and, as such, should probably remain in TM.
