Proposed: Remove RAMSES and ART from 2.x and force migration to 3.0
Hi all, I'd like to propose we actually remove the RAMSES and ART (NMSU) frontends from yt 2.x, since they probably don't work, and certainly not to the level of support they have in 3.0. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that NMSU ART and RAMSES are production quality in 3.0, unlike in 2.x where they don't quite work properly. I think we need confirmation from Chris Moody before this can be done, but does anyone have an objection to this? I will simply replace them with stubs that say, please use yt 3.0. -Matt
This would be good because if new people use yt 2.x with RAMSES data they should know the 3.0 implementation is much better. -Aaron Smith On 7/18/13 1:27 PM, Matthew Turk wrote:

Hey Matt, Sorry to chime in so late. ART in yt-2.x still works -- and in fact, it's the only way you can do offaxis projections, volume renders, and Sunrise exports for ART. I'm guessing the first two will be a long time before they work in yt-3.0, and the latter will require somewhat less effort. Anyway, while I don't want to maintain ART in 2.x any more, we should could leave it in a functional state. Maybe post a warning, but keep the code? chris On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 11:36 AM, Aaron Smith <asmith@astro.as.utexas.edu>wrote:
