I've read their motiv. If they propose something better honestly why not. Their statement is quite correct. However, you do not erase a feature without, at least, implementing the new one which is suppose to remplace it (and I've worked as digital project manager for app and website, so I'm aware of such processes ahah).
I believe they do not know where they are going with this "feature-type" and will improvise this year depends on reactions.
NB: I also hope they'll work on their app on smartphone, or at least made a proper WPA on iOS (cannot talk for Android), because for now... it's definitely not proper app.
Hi Ben, yes. I read their given reason: not enough people here on RG use this section, so let's erase it for the ones that do. Pretty lame, in my opinion. I use it as a log of the published papers by my working group, so I find this quite annoying. Anyway...
Just say if they propose you better feature, then why not. But when you pretend to work on better feature, then you give it (at least a first version) when you submit the feature that you want to remplace.
Here it more look they pretend to work on better, but they do not give you the start of a clue of what they are doing, by giving access at least to a first version of their "new" feature.
Maybe they do it really, then their communication is catastrophic.
