I'm all for removing dead code. I just wanted to know what it meant for the end users interacting with it. WPE would appear to be in a similar boat to us as you have end users interacting with a device remotely.

I just wanted that information so we can discuss internally what that would mean for us going forward. If the change is going to be a huge headache for our end users then we would probably discuss what to do and whether that would mean enabling it within WinCairo and continuing development there.
