hi All is it time to remove the TT display code in Koha, now that we have the 'better' XSLT display code? ...or are there still reasons to maintain both?

I'm guessing you mean for displaying the bibliographic data, since that is all we are using the XSLT for, at this stage it feels a bit like a make work scheme to me, and something far to dangerous to do this close to a release. It means editing the about 4 .pl files and their corresponding templates and not sure it gains us much? The first thing to do IMHO would be to release 3.14 (or maybe 3.12) with the XSLT on by default for new installs, then remove after, otherwise suddenly people who upgrade will have their public and staff interface suddenly change on them.

yes, i agree on all of that - especially the 'remove' bit… :)
