             Bug #: 50085
           Summary: [next] Consider removing InspectHandles/RequestHandles
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: xclaesse at gmail.com
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


They are now useless:

For CONTACT handles, we always get handle+id pairs and we have GetContactByID,
so we should never have to inspect/request a contact handle.

Other types (actually only ROOM is remaining) are used for channels. In that
case again we can set TARGET_ID in channel requests, and when we receive a
channel we have both handle+id in its immutable properties.

So I see no use-case for InspectHandles/RequestHandles. Removing them is also a
step forward to remove handles completely, even if we are still far from that.
