I was afraid to break backward compatibility by removing this method.

Could you please elaborate? Each version of GE is tight to a particular commit of GE/GH repo. This change will produce a new commit, and GE 3.2 will be tight to the new commit. Is there something else I am missing?

Well, it will never be a problem for GE itself, as you mentioned, since GE has a reference to the new version of GH, however, it could potentially be a problem for any other application who use GH as an external reference. I'm a newbie here and most likely overcomplicating things, but since GH is separated repository which has a bunch of public API classes, so someone can easily be dependant on the method that might seem to be redundant for GE.

If GH has never been assumed to be exposed as public API for any consumer except for GE, then I totally agree, we should reduce redundancy as much as possible.

The origin repo is used by others but our fork is only intended to be used by us. The fork has diverged and is not likely to be merged upstream. So delete.

Ok, removed then.
