Because the downside of keeping on supporting a legacy ANNOTATEMORE in Cyrus is that somebody has to maintain that forever if you're never planning to get off it, either you or everyone else touching that code!<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">Regards,<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br>Bron.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">On Wed, Sep 12, 2018, at 11:22, Dilyan Palauzov wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="fastmail-quoted"><div style="font-family:Arial;">Hello Samir,<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">if the opt-in ANNOTATEMORE feature is something that only you will use, as it currently looks like, I see no reason to bother others with it.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">Greetings<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"> Дилян<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">On September 11, 2018 2:40:48 PM PDT, Samir Aguiar <samir.aguiar@intra2net.com> wrote:<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">>Hi Dilyan,<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">>On 09/11/2018 06:17 PM, Dilyan Palauzov wrote:<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">>> it does not make sense to keep the ANNOTATEMORE code just for your<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">>specific case.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">>> <br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">>> You are entitled to issue an updated client software dealing with<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">>METADATA and ask users to update, or for your server to revert the<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">>respective change.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">>Yes, absolutely.
