I think we have said that we will remove them :) (see below)

yes that way krita behaves like everybody

what does substract on "no-selection" a revert selection ? (would be cool)

yes and once it selected, you can paint on it with the normal tools. It ease 
the maintaining.

The major problem we have with select all/deselect is that unlike the gimp or 
photoshop we don't show wether a selection is active or not.
I am a bit concern by removing either one, will the user who wants to remove a 
selection understand that select all is the same ? and the other way 
around ? "Deselect / Select All" won't be good either. But maybe we can find 
a name that would match both actions.

> - Cut and copy should be available when there is no selection mask
yes

> - Since Deselect is gone so should Reselect
it should be replace by a docker where the user can store selections he want 
to reuse later.
