Replying to [comment:5 alex-ye]:
> We should publish an official plugin.
That's what derailed this the first time 'round. We wanted to make post-
by-email a "canonical" or "official" plugin and that never happened.
>Before we do that there should be a good, standalone plugin as
replacement.
No, we don't. Anyone who's not already using the feature will be
unaffected if it goes away. Anyone already using the feature ''can still
use it'' if we deprecate it.
JetPack is a perfectly reasonable plugin for the majority of people who
need/want post-by-email functionality. Deprecating the feature (not
turning it off, but warning people that it will be eventually
disappearing) is the first step to encouraging others to develop a plugin
that fills the I-need-this-but-can't-use-Jetpack void.
