Gilles Sadowski commented on MATH-1671:
---------------------------------------
Thanks for the detailed review; it seems to confirm that CM has accumulated
much bloat over time.
IMHO, anything of dubious usage or with inconsistent design is not worth
keeping in the next major version. I'd assume that projects who rely on such
very old and unmaintained CM code are unlikely to be upgraded to version 4.0;
hence there is no reason to provide "legacy" code in that version. People who
want to upgrade would get a heads-up that this code was problematic (in one or
another) and could still use version 3.6.1.
How about moving useful utilities (implemented on top of CS) to a new
{{o.a.c.m.stat}} (non-legacy) package defined in a module of its own?
