Hi Nio,

1. it is way faster, really a big difference. USC was made a bit faster, but it's still not comparable to LSC.
2. I guess most Lubuntu users are using it, but alternate iso installs are quite rare. And as the DB is regenerated from time to time, nobody noticed that issue.
3. It's working fine mostly and doesn't take much space, so I think we should keep it. Remember, LSC was the thing how I came to Lubuntu ;-)

@Walter: we could redesign it, yes. It could use Appstream data, like the future Lubuntu/LXQt software center will. But it would be really a lot of work and we don't have the manpower, I think. I think "Won't fix" is the only solution in our position. Would only be worth the effort if other flavours would like to adopt LSC - Ubuntu GNOME wants it, but only as an interim solution. Xubuntu doesn't want it, so I think it will be abandoned (more or less) soon.
