Maybe the aspect of handling spaces makes the kata sufficiently different for 7 kyu tasks, but I still think they are very similar. Additionally, I think that one additional simple condition in 1. makes the rank more suitable. I think that 1. can be kept as more interesting, and 2. can be retired as a less interesting/duplicate.

Agree to keep 1 and retire 2 due to above reason && author for 2 has already long gone!

@hobovsky Have translations been added to vaporcode?

@VanessaGreene The checkboxes are ticked, so I would assume so.

[hobovsky]

Yes, checkboxes are ticked, so everything is done. However, in newer tickets, I organized tasks a bit differently: #203 and a kata is ready for retirement if all checkboxes in its sub-bullets are checked (or if there is none).

Spacify is now retired
