Dear committers,
Dave McKnight has proposed an API change to the IRemoteFileSubSystem and
IRemoteProcessSubSystem in order to add progress monitors to some method
calls, such that there is a chance to cancel long running operations.
My personal take is, that although its already very late in the game I'd
like to accept such API changes because it appears that
1. We dont have many clients on openRSE yet. At least none that I'd know
of.
2. Those API changes appear simple and straightforward.
3. API changes will become much more difficult than now as soon as we
have 1.0 released, so better do it now than in the future.
4. The API changes will enable our users to write interruptable
services, i.e. allow something not possible today. So even if our own
services are not all interruptable yet, it's important to open up the
API for allowing interruptable services in the future.
Considering all this, I'm voting +1.
Committers please cast your votes.
Thanks
Martin
