13	Discontinue MAGIC support in FACT/Mars	dneise	somebody	"In a private discussion with Thomas Bretz he mentioned, that it might be a good idea to stop supporting MAGIC in our version of Mars. I welcome this decision very much, however I this needs of course to be agreed on by the majority of users/developers of Mars in FACT.

So, I put up this ticket mainly to have a place to discuss this (if a discussion is needed at all). As soon as the majority agrees, we will officially drop MAGIC support. That's it for the moment. No code will be deleted or so.

We just create a snapshot of the trunk, that is known to be the last version of FACT/Mars, where MAGIC support has not been officially dropped. (Of course we know, that it is not clear whether MAGIC data analysis was fully supported before). After this point in time, developers are free to throw away code, that is not needed by FACT anymore.

An important question of course is, are there any MAGIC members in FACT, that do use the FACT/Mars to analyze some MAGIC data? If this is the case please inform us now.

At the same time I would like to drop support for ROOT versions smaller than 5.0. So if anybody thinks we should still support ROOT 3 or 4, please speak up.

I propose to leave the discussion open for a couple of weeks (say 2 weeks) and if nobody is against this, I will advance with this task."	enhancement	new	minor		component1
