Configuration of openHAB

That was just another claim of @David_Graeff he hasn’t even repeated as an argument why we should get rid of Xtend. And @wborn to contradict right in the next post.

I don’t recall him stating Rules DSL is going to be deprecated. Just that NGRE is the future default (or words to that effect).
And I think that differentiation is key to this whole discussion.

Noone is against next-gen improvements/additions such as MQTT2, NGRE and PaperUI-NG.
But David wants to remove the current, widely used functionality pendants for no good reason which is where we all oppose.
Now everybody seems to agree (even David I believe if I got his latest statement right) that there
needs to be or will anyway be a longish transition phase.
That means we anyway have to get OH into a state where current and new methods of configuring (+programming) things/rules coexist flawlessly.

And this is the point where I’m asking myself:
Why the heck should we remove the working+used stuff at all?
