Re: [Gramps-bugs] single descendant numbering system

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

The reports are part of a plugin system for which we have a programming
guide. Most where written and contributed by users.

Going from 2.0.x to 2.2.x was a big API change, and only those reports where
retained that had active developers.
The main developers at that time did not want to keep supporting reports of
which no users or developers where known to help maintain it (test, ...).

As nobody complained in the years since, I can only agree to that decision.
Again, feel free to do a feature request for what you want, but be
descriptive (example, ....), as the present developers have no or almost no
knowledge of version 1.x

GRAMPS does not favor one system over the other, but the community decides
how things evolve. One active users supporting a system can mean it does not
get discarded. If nobody speaks up, code simplifications and reorganizations
will mean things are scrapped that have no supporters.

If you feel strongly about changes, consider signing up to the user mailing
list to have a better view of how things evolve.
This bug list is actually only followed by a couple of people of the core
devel group, so is no good forum to report non-bug related things.
