           Summary: Connection.Interface.Requests: duplicate onto Connection
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: telepathy-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk
            Blocks: 23148


The functionality of Requests should be a core part of Connection.

Proposed migration path:

* add CreateChannel, Channels etc. to Connection with the same signatures and
semantics as in Requests

* augment TpBaseConnection and the Python equivalent to implement both sets of
D-Bus API

* when those changes are old enough to rely on, change MC (and any clients that
go behind its back) to use the core Connection interface instead of Requests

* deprecate the methods and properties of the Requests interface (to avoid
emitting three sets of signals, it's probably OK to not move the signals)

* in Telepathy 1.0 (Bug #23148), delete the Requests interface and move its
signals to the core Connection

* when telepathy-glib API is broken, remove TpChannelFactoryIface and all code
needed to support it
