[yt-dev] Reason, PlotCollection and yt-3.0

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi all,

I want to raise the possibility of removing the PlotCollection and
Reason code from yt before the 3.0 release.

I haven't checked recently but given the changes in yt since they were
last updated, both features likely do not work correctly right now.
Given the move to notebooks* and PlotWindow-style plotting going
forward, I think now is the time to rip off the bandage and remove the
code.

It's likely some of the gui code can be repurposed for a widget, but
that doesn't mean reason as it is right now needs to be bundled with
the release or exist in the dev repo.

*As a side note, you should all check out the IPython javascript demos
in the release candidate for IPython 2.0.  Since the widgets
communicate with a live kernel, you unfortunately can't demo it with a
static nbviewer page. Look in the examples folder in the root of the
IPython repository.
