Re: [platform-ui-dev] Changes in Context Structure
|
I don't think I understand the proposal. The "Debugging" context doesn't
currently have any parent contexts. Are you proposing that we make our
contexts children of workbench contexts? If so, why? Unless there's
something to this story that I'm missing, I don't want anyone else blocking
my contexts from enabling or disabling.
