Role Weight Vs. Role Weights

Some progress has been made towards 6.x compatibility on Role Weights, although Views 2 support is not yet implemented. I'm the author/maintainer for Role Weights and there seems to be massive overlap here. A brief look at CVS for this module highlights a couple of differences:

• this module provides its own admin page, whereas Role Weights hooks into the existing admin/user/roles form
• this module adds a field to Drupal's own role table, whereas Role Weights adds a new table
• this module uses Drupal 6's table drag n' drop functionality, Role Weights doesn't (#257478: Set weights on admin_user_roles form with JS Drag & Drop)
• this module provides a function used by Form Adjust module
• Role Weights offers a few more "API" functions eg to obtain "lightest", "heaviest" role for a given user
• Role Weights provides Token support
• Role Weights for 5.x provides Views 1 support, and I hope to provide Views 2 support as soon as I get some time (#419846: Improve Views support). There is an issue discussing Views support for Role Weight: #422498: Role Weight for Views
• Role Weights will optionally sort admin/user/permissions and admin/user/roles

(please note I haven't installed this module - the above observations are from looking at the code).

There is a LOT of overlap between these two modules - looking at the above the two features this module has over Role Weights (which I will consider implementing!) are:

• database schema for Role Weights - is a field in role table better than a separate table?
• implement drag n' drop sorting for the admin/user/roles page, if possible (#257478: Set weights on admin_user_roles form with JS Drag & Drop)

Just a quick follow up, Role Weights now has an official 6.x release (6.x-1.5) with limited Views support.

We plan to abandon our module and base Form Adjust on Role Weights in the nearest future.

If you have any modules (excepting Form Adjust) dependent on Role Weight please inform us, since Role Weight will be marked as deprecated.

mark as deprecated? a year has passed.

#257478: Set weights on admin_user_roles form with JS Drag & Drop

Role Weights has an official 6.x release (although it's still lacking Views support in the 7.x-1.x-dev version). Is there any reason for this module to still not be marked deprecated?
