-
 Don't delete unused columns too early, but maybe after several months/releases, unused columns are
 still used by older versions, so deleting them breaks downgrading the core or importing a backup in
 an older version. Also don't change the column type, consider adding a new column with another name
 instead. Finally, never change column semantics, this is especially dangerous because the `STRICT`
 keyword doesn't help here.

 ## Errors

 Delta Chat core mostly uses [`anyhow`](https://docs.rs/anyhow/) errors.
@@ -96,52 +78,12 @@ All errors should be handled in one of these ways:
 - With `.log_err().ok()`.
 - Bubbled up with `?`.

-When working with [async streams](https://docs.rs/futures/0.3.31/futures/stream/index.html),
-prefer [`try_next`](https://docs.rs/futures/0.3.31/futures/stream/trait.TryStreamExt.html#method.try_next) over `next()`, e.g. do
-```
-while let Some(event) = stream.try_next().await? {
-    todo!();
-}
-```
-instead of
-```
-while let Some(event_res) = stream.next().await {
-    todo!();
-}
-```
-as it allows bubbling up the error early with `?`
-with no way to accidentally skip error processing
-with early `continue` or `break`.
-Some streams reading from a connection
-return infinite number of `Some(Err(_))`
-items when connection breaks and not processing
-errors may result in infinite loop.
-
 `backtrace` feature is enabled for `anyhow` crate
 and `debug = 1` option is set in the test profile.
 This allows to run `RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test`
 and get a backtrace with line numbers in resultified tests
 which return `anyhow::Result`.

-`unwrap` and `expect` are not used in the library
-because panics are difficult to debug on user devices.
-However, in the tests `.expect` may be used.
-Follow
-<https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/error/index.html#common-message-styles>
-for `.expect` message style.

-## BTreeMap vs HashMap
-
-Prefer [BTreeMap](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.BTreeMap.html)

-and [BTreeSet](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.BTreeSet.html)
-over [HashSet](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.HashSet.html)
-as iterating over these structures returns items in deterministic order.
-
-Non-deterministic code may result in difficult to reproduce bugs,
-flaky tests, regression tests that miss bugs
-or different behavior on different devices when processing the same messages.

-## Documentation comments
-
-All public modules, methods and fields should be documented.
-This is checked by [`missing_docs`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/lints.html#missing_docs) lint.
-
-Private items do not have to be documented,
-but CI uses `cargo doc --document-private-items`
-to build the documentation,

-are documented.

-
-## Do not use `into()`, `try_into()` or `parse()`
-
-For internal types, implementing `From`, `TryFrom` or `FromStr` is discouraged.
-Instead, a `new()` function is recommended.
-
-For external types, prefer using `Type::from()`, `Type::try_from()` or `Type::from_str()`
-over `into()`, `try_into()` or `parse()`.
-
-Calling `into()`, `try_into()` or `parse()`
-creates an indirection,
-which is hard to follow for people who are not familiar with Rust,
-or who are not using rust-analyzer.
-
-## Use macros only when really needed
-
-Macros can be hard to read for people unfamiliar with Rust,
-and can have surprising effects like evaluating arguments multiple times.
-Therefore, macros should only be used when really needed;
-using functions is usually better.
