    If you are starting a new implementation, I see no reason to use the old entity, as it will probably be deprecated at some point in the future, and I don't see any significant benefits over the new entity.

    If you have an existing implementation with the old entity, then the decision is not so easy. If some of the new features (e.g. versioning or translation) are useful, then I'd move to the new entity, but if you're happy with the functionality of the old entity there's not a compelling reason to migrate

    Hi NITHYA,

    Thanks for the response, however i understand the difference between both and how and where it is used. But what i really want to know is why to use new entity when old one is sill working and will not be deprecated. I want to know the future of the old entity so that we can plan which entity to use etc.
