Thanks for sharing your concern, Nicolas. We're also worried about
potentially breaking people's workflows, which is why we're consulting
on this before we proceed with the removal. So we're in the same board :-)
However, the feature recommendation system is not in place, it is not
prioritised for this quarter and there has been no talk of it recently.
That would put this work on hold until the system is designed AND
developed, and given the amount of time we're already spending on these
panels for such little usage, it makes very little sense from a
strategy/economic point of view.
There are some alternatives; Yulia shared them in a previous email. It
might be more cost proportionate to recommend them "one on one" than to
implement a whole recommendation system given the amount of users there are.
I reckon in an ideal world, we'd do what you suggest, which is the
fairest thing, but we have lots of technical debt to pay and the
interest is piling up, so to speak :)
