Description
Since we have bayesplot now there's no reason to also maintain all the old ggplot2 code currently in RStan. I guess we can
- (A) deprecate the existing plotting functions in RStan with a message pointing to the bayesplot
or we can
- (B) have the current functions in RStan call the bayesplot equivalent directly
Personally I'm in favor of (A) since it simplifies RStan's code base (we'd keep the deprecated functions for quite some time of course, but wouldn't plan to maintain that code in the long term). I'd like to do one or the other soon. What do people think of (A), (B), or some other option I haven't thought of?
