Logic of changeFactory references is suspicious

[Ducasse]

RefactoryChangeFactory class >> instance
^ RBRefactoryChangeManager instance changeFactory

RefactoringChangeManager class >> instance
^ Instance ifNil: [ Instance := self basicNew initialize ]

RefactoringChangeManager >> changeFactory
^ RBRefactoryChangeFactory new

I do not see the point to pass via the singleton if this is just to return a fresh instance each time.

I do not like the stale robot can we remove it.!

[noha]

Why? Do you want to keep all issues that nobody cares about? Sure these mails are annoying but they help clean stuff and concentrate on things somebody cares, no?

[Ducasse]

Because I have to write on the issues that I want to work on!!!

[noha]

You mean issues you want to work on but didn‘t in the last months?

[Ducasse]

Exactly and seriously I'm not the only one to be annoyed by this stale robot. Marcus changed the delay.

I‘m not a fan of the stale robit and won‘t defend it. I‘m just asking myself if in a couple of month from now there is moaning about the very growing issue list where too many issues are okd and nobody cares. What is the alternative for this ?

Tagging and encouraging people to contribute.

This issue looks more like a small project than an actionable issue.
I propose we move it to a wiki with potential projects for people to contribute.
Could be a great basis for GSOC.
