The web interface is glacially slow and overly
awkward. It poorly renders the pages in some
cases/browser configurations[1].
Some of the workflows in the web interface still
require an email confirmation to complete. So email
does not seem to be going away.
Emails allow longer forms to be completed over
multiple work sessions, saving the file until the
application is completed. A local copy is created
and besides sending it to ARIN, it can be sent from
role accounts and cc'd to others.
The email interface should be retained indefinitely.
If ARIN doesn't want to maintain two systems. then
dump the web interface and keep email.
[1] where other sites do not have the same issues.
