Hi Fabien,

In this context, can you elaborate on the future of the XMLRPC 
interface, also but not exclusively regarding backwards compatibility 
and thus stability towards external programs?

I assume part of the anxiety of loosing the GTK client is that the web 
client doesn't need XMLRPC (anymore), and that it may be changed 
regarding compability or deprecate in terms of functionality in the near 
future.

I know many people use these for ETL/BI, e.g. through OOOR or the newer 
Object Input and Output functions.

We also rely heavily on XMLRPC for interfaces with another ERP, our 
production technology software, specialised lot tracking software and 
equipment, test bench equipment and so on.

Thank you in advance for any clarification,
Marco
