Conversation
I have tested this PR against ~30 downstream ARMI-based projects, and all of their unit tests still passed. |
Very happy about this. I will take a detailed look later today, hopefully. |

Great cleanup! Looks like the depreciation warning was there for a long time so that should've given folks time to migrate as needed.

Description
This PR removes support for the XML CaseSettings files. From here on out we will only support the YAML format.
This is meant as a simplification step. You will notice that much code can be removed when dropping this support; and much of the code that is left is simpler.
As part of this "clean out the old stuff we don't use any more" I hope to soon drop support for XML blueprint files, and the old geomFiles.
I think ARMI could be simpler and easier to understand. Dropping complicated support for old, defunct features is an easy win toward this end. For instance, our support for XML input/data file is holding back a PR at this very moment:
#595 (comment)
Also, I think I have seen a lot of activity lately where XML input files and the old geomFiles have made our current work much slower than it needs to be.
