Problem/Motivation
Currently, file.info.yml says this:description: 'Defines a file field type.'
In D8, it does an awful lot more than that. ;) It's also providing:
- The File entity.
- The
managed_file
form element. - File usage tracking.
- The REST file upload resource.
- ...
I doubt most site builders care about most of this, but I'm sure some of them would care about some of it. ;)
Proposed resolution
Update the file.info.yml description.
Remaining tasks
- Figure out what subset of what file.module does that most site builders looking at the .info.yml file or /admin/modules would care about.
- #include bikeshed.h
- Write the patch
- RTBC
- Commit
User interface changes
More accurate description of the file module on the /admin/modules page.
API changes
None.
Data model changes
None.
