Re: [tm-dev] Will "Terminal (Old)" be removed before GA?

Hi Rob,

AFAIK neither the EPP packages nor Mars itself will offer the "Terminal(Old)" view; it's only on the TM update site and pretty hidden.
So I'm not sure how any user would get the old view.

Perhaps if they "upgrade" from Luna to Mars ... then they probably keep/update the old view and I'm not sure if we can (or want to) avoid that.

We've done a lot of testing on these kind of migration scenarios, we did find some issues (which you'll find in bugzilla, few are still unresolved), but from my POV we've come to a point where we (committers) don't want to invest more. If there is specific install/upgrade scenarios that you care about, please do the respective testing, file bugzilla's and contribute fixes if you find it necessary.

Hope that helps and you can understand our stance !

Thanks !
Martin

Hi Uwe:

The concern here (at least from our perspective) is that the unification was meant to reduce the number of terminals, so that when a user goes window -> show view -> other  and types "Terminal", they see only one (or possibly two) relevant results with visibly different names.  So I'd like to make sure that we're not going to see two views both named "Terminal" , which will be confusing for a user if a how-to guide indicates they should open the view named "Terminal".

Can we ensure that the situation  as currently projected to appear in GA won't be confusing for users?

- Rob
