Late response but I had no additional input until now.
I'm good for stripping the sequence and date fields for iProjects. In RDi typing a number in the sequence column currently positions to the actual line number in the source and not the line associated to the sequence number; unlike SEU where it takes you to that sequence number. So the sequence numbers are only useful to reference when looking into an error...and if they are always re-sequenced there will not be an issue determining which line is having trouble.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] i Projects - improvements - request for input
Hello everybody
You hopefully have seen that some gooodies are coming your way soon.
We did invest in iProjects in making it easy to submit builds and get error feedback from within the editor via shortcut keys, so your fingers never have to leave the keyboard.
Another request was to be aple to set the associated connection and library
for a selection of multiple iProjects. This is very handy when extracting
projects from a source control system like RTC or Git.
In general when managing iProjects with source control, it is a much safer practice to strip off sequence numbers. While this is currently available as a preference ( Preferences>i Projects "Remove sequence number and date fields on download"), it is not the default. The presence of sequence numbers in source control complicate many operations including compare. We are doing our best to manage sequence numbers automatically in this coming release, but there are still cases beyond our power.
I would like to make it the default to strip these sequence numbers, since the source control system provides a much richer traceability of who changed what, when and for what reason, than the current sequence numbers provide.
Are there strong objections?
Thanks
Edmund
