Hi devs,
We have a "template" field in XWikiDocument and in what we
export/import in the XAR but it's not part of the database mapping
(there is defaultTemplate but no template). See
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8650.
Since it's not saved in the database it's totally useless to have it
in the XAR but we do have it in several pages of XE (some Blog pages).
So my question is what the hell is this field and what should be do with it ?
I can see two possibilities:
1) stop exporting it in the XAR and deprecated related method in XWikiDocument
2) put it back in the database mapping (I guess it used to be there or
I don't see how we could have some pages with it on github)
WDYT ?
AFAIK it's never been used and since it's not saved in the DB right now I would go
for 1).
We can then discuss about use cases in the future and decide if we need it.
Thanks

PS: We need to progress on http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-8252 which is a blocker
and which is way more important ATM.
Since I have no idea what this field is supposed to do
I don't have a
strong opinion but since it's totally useless right now and nobody
seems to complain I would go for 1).
