i'm a little confused as to why channel operators have been deprecated - if i need a stream to remain hot (using a channel), i can't use Flow and its operators

[william]

oh wait consumeAsFlow still maintains the "hot"ness

[Adam Powell]

As does receiveAsFlow if you want to permit multiple collection

[gildor]

Yes, you can convert channel as flow.
But flow also can be created hot, thought, now it limited, until we got SharedFlow

[william]

@gildor what do you mean it is limited?

[gildor]

StateFlow is also hot for example, but works only for some particular use cases
