Hi Nick,
Although no new functionality are added to ILS-DI, it's in use by a lot of
software, most discovery tools and frontend softwares including :
- VuFind
- BlackLight
- Summon (Proquest)
- EDS (Ebsco)
- Bokeh (AFI-BibLibre)

So it would break backward compatibility with those.
Also, no new functionality but quality gets improved (like, circulation rules
which used not to behave like OPAC are now taken into account when using
ILS-DI).
I fear this testing and quality assessment job is lost, and some instability
brought instead.

For me, it's ok to say we won't bring new features in, but maintenance and
access to the API has to be kept for backward compatibility reason, eventually
forwarding ILS-DI calls to the API when all functions are replicated.
