Hi Edhelas,
Thank you for your contribution.
I've voted +0 on this one, so I'm not blocking it but I'm not pushing either.
I want to explain why here.
I think this feature is popular and thus likely useful and desirable. However,
I have some issues with the design of this specification:
- It's not generic; it's only for blogging. Retracting items after a delay
should be a generic feature.
- The delay is vague and should be specified. Ideally, it should be possible to
customize the delay, with a reasonable value set by default.
- The retraction is done by the client, which is my major concern: if the
client doesn't connect (or connects much later), items won't be retracted. The
retraction should be handled by the Pubsub service.
While I appreciate the stories profile, I believe the retraction design isn't
quite right.
I suggest that we completely remove this retraction feature from this
specification and move it to a new one. This new spec should use a well-known
node configuration to remove items after a customizable amount of time (or at a
specific date and time). We can add a fallback asking the publishing client to
retract items if the service doesn't support this config option. This way, we
have a clean and generic method for item retraction.
What are your thoughts?
Best,
Goffi
