request for CERT votes for obsoletized physical shortcuts - Steffen - 2019-07-09
Hej,
we recently decided to no longer deliver physical color parts inside the main library.
Instead, that would be a separate download.
Physical color parts are such which do not have color 16 but instead carry a hardcoded color,
so only can be used in that one hardcoded color.
Having such files has its own uses, for example for set inventories.
However, would we allow those into the main library, then the library would explode in size,
with lots of duplicate parts which only differ by their hardcoded color.
That's what color 16 is for.
For this reason, we are obsoletizing all currently official physical color parts.
They all are on the PT now.
I am asking you to help voting CERT for them, so they can get into the next parts release in 1 go.
Here they are. Most just need 1 more CERT vote:

many thanks!

I will double-check.
Not everything that contains the word "physical" is obsolete.
We just agreed on physical color parts up to now,
i.e., single parts with a hardcoded color instead of color 16.
I am not sure if extending that towards
- all the Fabuland figures
- all the Friends figures
would be a good idea.
I will double-check and come back.

As you can see I haven't touched the figures for the fact that those should be kept.
