We know that the number of users with things installed is not zero. We
|
22 |
also know that by following a simple migration path, that number can
|
23 |
become zero in a way that doesn't result in any nasty surprises for
|
24 |
anyone. That's all that the Council is being asked to agree on here --
|
25 |
that rather than nuking things without warning, we should warn affected
|
26 |
users that they need to take action, and give them a reasonable about
|
27 |
of time to do so before we go around deleting anything.
