Hi All,

I don't recall when this was previously discussed, but the timing is relevant at 2.23.0. With switch and restore commands coming in this release, I was wondering how long checkout will be provided for compatibility - or if it will be deprecated at all. I assume that enhancements should only go to switch and restore, but what of fixes? Should they go to only the new commands or both?

Thanks, Randall
