LiveWindow serves a purpose, and that purpose will likely be more important in FTC use cases. The fundamental need is to have a way to test motors and sensors while bypassing the rest of the code. If it’s a case where the current approach/implementation doesn’t meet that purpose, we should figure out what the new implementation is before completely removing the old one. |

Judging by the lack of help requests related to LiveWindow and Test mode on both CD and Discord, it appears LiveWindow is a very rarely used feature. In addition, LiveWindow has historically caused loop overruns when it was enabled by default. Combined with a Sendable rewrite (#6453), it seems LiveWindow has outlived its usefulness, and it's probably a good time to begin the removal process.
