I was going through getting some nodes up to date.

RBE is a problem. Before and after the update.

I know a while back I was asking and was told of an _updated release_ which addressed the problem I mentioned. (I seem to remember)

They are both in use (both versions). How that happened I am not sure.  
Is/are there two entires in/on the list? I don't remember seeing two.

Just checked: There is/are NONE! As said in another thread: The `rbe` node is replaced by the `filter` node.

Oh, P.S: Just noticed/saw this:

So, an existing flow with `rbe` node.  
Looking at the nodes I have.....

 ![Screenshot from 2021-12-05 18-56-30](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/4/9/4930dc6db10fa2fe3ff06b32f0a7e836d4645985.png)

`filter` is _aliased_ as `Repeat by exception`.... Ok. I can live with that.

But!  
After dragging the `filter` node to the edit area....

![Screenshot from 2021-12-05 18-56-37](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/9/f/9f206f15b91cc3bfc773ca5b114b538d3d0be86d.png)

Am I being petty that it should be called `filter` and not `rbe` - as that is the name in the bigger list on the left.

Manually uninstall the rbe node and restart node red.

Thanks. I guess I should have worked that out myself.

But it begs the question: When I uninstall it.... Won't I have/have a lot of _holes_ in the code where the uninstalled ones are/were?

No, the filter node will pick them up.  
However, I am working from memory here, on my phone. You can always re install it anyway, and you do do regular backups.

No. The RBE node was moved into the core set of nodes and relabelled as the Filter node to make it more discoverable to users. Under the covers, it still uses the rbe node type.

The node-red-nodes-rbe module is now superfluous and can be removed.

(Idiot hat on)  
The node is in use. I can't un-install it simply by clicking on its name in the palette manager.

Clicking on the `in use` button doesn't yield information to where these nodes are.

You have to manually uninstall on the command line.

So:  
`node-red-stop`  
`npm remove node-red-node-rbe`  
`node-red-start`

from ~/.node-red

Yes?
