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
