+1 For Nicolas's opinion here. I think it's fair in an open source project
to at least give the community / partner one version to convert their work
by deprecating something. Please, do not just remove that module for v8.0.
You already dropped audittrail, project long term and some others.

If I perfectly understand all the reasons that motivate you to drop them
(trust me;), it's the editor's duty to announce, deprecate and then only
drop something. If you're not doing so, how can we as partners / community
rely on you ?

Thanks for your understanding.


See you in june !

Joël
