Hi everyone

Not really getting into the whole discussion on blocking
remarks to a running (sponsored) project. I sincerely hope
we all agree that once work has started on these, we should
try to be constructive and let the student do their job while
benefiting from all we can feed to them on the do-it-better
side.

Now, on the hopes of being constructive:

I do understand resource renaming and removing are borderline
use cases, but I also see the need for such functionality when, for
instance,  there's no easy way to properly inform the application
about what and how to rename/move. It been a protocol:// issue,
a loosely defined naming%0Xd*.ext convention, etc (there are
similar examples for renaming). Lacking a better solution and
considering we should be at least responsible for our own cleanup,
I'd just make sure this API stays in the avpriv_ realm and work
together on designing a solution that would let us have this
functionality available for internal use while being maintainable
, have good platform coverage, and be as uncluttered (use-case wise)
as it can possibly be.

Humbly,
