+1. I think that a single attribute, something like deprecation- message or deprecation-comment, should do the job.

A deprecation message would be a good idea, perhaps we could just have that as the single attribute, if the attribute has content then the service is deprecated. Doing so would force a developer to include a message in order to deprecate a service.

This would be a good idea, Including this I would be good to have two attribute instead of one - One for indicating that it has been deprecated (as Scott's suggested) and second one tell the name of service/s that will replace the deprecated service.

Hi all,

What do you think about adding the ability to deprecate services? We could add an attribute to the service definition indicating that it has been deprecated and then log a warning whenever it is invoked. That would allow us to change the names of or remove services without breaking existing installations, we'd just move the old service to the bottom of the service definition file and then remove it after the next release.

I don't have a pressing need for this, it's just an idea I had after seeing some poorly named services around the place.

Scott
