Vincent did not propose to drop f-spot, just to change the default of what gets installed in a new installation. So, this means, if you update, you keep f-spot and get shotwell installed as additional application and can decide which ones to use. New users would only get shotwell - and could easily install f-spot if needed,
Some people I know don't update via zypper dup. Instead they mount the DVD and do a new installation, formatting / paritition and keeping the /home in a separate partition. In such cases this will be helpful. Also, If we are expecting people to change to shotwell, as we find it to be the most actively developed, we should help users migrate their collections from F-Spot to shotwell so that they can switch and at the same time dont need to launch a different app. to see old data. For instance, I still use pidgin (instead of empathy) as empathy cannot read/import the logs of pidgin which I have maintained for few years. So, instead of using both pidgin and empathy I am struck with pidgin.
