Blog: Abandon Banner Image

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

The banner feature is a unicorn for blogs and portfolios. There is no KS element for the banner yet and the file handling is not migrated to the IRSS. The underlying file system handling has been deprecated by the file component maintainer and PM, see https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/pull/5158

If we want to keep banners, they should be a general repository object feature and not an implementation of two distinct components.
