Then why do we need to have 2 separate modes? Are there any plans for
replacing grep-mode with xref-mode in all the commands that use the
former? Do we also want to replace compilation-mode with xref-mode?
If the plan is to make such replacements, that could be a good idea,
and we can discuss the roadmap towards that goal. Such a roadmap
should include a transition plan that will help people migrate as
painlessly as possible, including the key bindings and the somewhat
different looks. And perhaps _then_ we will have a good enough reason
we don't have now to rebind xref-mode's TAB in Emacs 28.
I didn't see any discussions to that effect, and in any case such
discussions need to be on emacs-devel, not here. If the intent is
indeed to make such a migration, let's announce the plan, and let's
define the roadmap which we want to follow. It's a significant
change, and we should be careful in how we do it.
