@bajtos, just a question. I'm not familiar with what strong-remoting does, so I'm wondering how can someone upgrade to LoopBack 4. Perhaps that might be something that can be included in the REAMDE?

Good point!

strong-remoting is sort of an equivalent of @loopback/rest. It implements a transport layer exposing LB3 Model classes via a network transport like REST, JSON RPC or Socket.io (websockets).

Upgrading an LB3 app to an LB4 app is something we need to figure out yet - see loopbackio/loopback-next#1849

Migrating an application built directly on top of strong-remoting (without loopback) to LB4 would be a lot of work because pretty much everything is different in LB4. To be honest, I don't think there are many (if any) users depending on strong-remoting directly. I feel that writing a migration guide for strong-remoting users would be likely a waste of our precious time now. Let's wait until there is strong user demand for that.

At the same time, I see how the messaging proposed in my pull request can be confusing to readers. Let me expand it a bit to make the options more clear.

@dhmlau LGTY now?
