Breaking changes by removing APIs that can't possibly work right now?

Hi,

we have many APIs in REEF.NET that can't possibly work right now, mostly
involving properties which have a setter that we can't support. I filled
and collected many of them under REEF-686.

Going through the whole deprecation cycle for this seems like a fool's
errand, as those APIs don't work right now. Hence, I propose to remove
them directly, without waiting for a release.

Thoughts?

Markus

Hi,

this has been standing on the list for a while. I assume we can hence go
ahead and act on REEF-686 with extreme prejudice :-)
