> Meanwhile, we have to live with all the extra static files?
Living with broken static files that referred to incorrect files was a bit
more of an inconvenience than some extra files lying around, but it
managed to hang around for quite a while. There's already 2N static files
since the original non-hashed file is always kept, with the extra
intermediate files it's 2N + M and in most cases M is going to be a dozen
or two compared to N being likely a couple hundred or more.
> Could you write to the DevelopersMailingList to propose the deprecation
and explain the current situation?
I really can't, I don't have the time to shepherd the issue. I can chime
in from time to time though. I will add that it'd be nice to consider a
manifest option where the manifest was inserted into the codebase like
`locale` translations rather than relying on the manifest file being
stored with the static files.
