Re: [platform-text-dev] [platform-ui-dev] [proposal] Unite platform text

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

+1 for merging eclipse.platform.text into eclipse.platform.ui

I would be happy to work more in eclipse.platform.text but the lack of
review feedback has hold me of for it. Critical patches like
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/21478/ have not received time attention
(except from me) have have been post phoned already two releases due
to slow feedback.

Best regards, Lars
