+# Remove "--nofetch option" and All Old Fetching Code
+- Status: Proposed
+
+## Overview
+This is a proposal to remove `--nofetch` option and all older fetching code. [See issue CB-13055](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13055)
+
+## Current
+Currently, `Cordova` uses `cordova-fetch` for fetching modules by default.
+
+## Proposal
+Ths proposal recommends dropping older methods of fetching as it can reduce maintenance in `Cordova`. The following is proposed to be removed:
+
+- remove --nofetch option (remove the flag and workflow that occurs when fetch is false)
+- remove lazy_load
+- remove gitclone.js
+- remove npm dependency (from package.json)
+- remove remoteload.js
+
+## Additional Work
+Update anywhere that these fetch, lazy_load, gitclone, npm dependency references or files are being used.
