Status fo Stream changes in Pharo 7

Torsten Bergmann
Hi,

In Pharo 7 there were changes applied to rework the streams. I understand that we might have
reasons to change it - but to me this looks incomplete and not finished.

For instance "FileStream" is a deprecated class - but still a lot of code in the
image is referencing it instead,

Is there a guide or plan for all these methods being reworked to use a (hopefully
compatible) alternative.

Can anyone involved in this topic give an update on the status?

Thanks
T.

Yes, the transition is incomplete. There is an umbrella issue somewhere.

Not all of it is easy ...
