Guys, I didn't pay enough attention to this topic (thus my +0) but
what we did is very bad! I used myself $services.wikimanager in lots
of places and I'm sure others have used it also (especially since we
moved to virtual mode on by default) so we cannot simply remove an API
like this. This is not different than removing a method or a class
from a public API (which would be caught by CLIRR). We need to apply
the same deprecation strategy: mark $services.wikimanager as
deprecated, move to legacy, log warning messages when it is used,
update all places in platform where it is currently used, etc.

I just found out that the Wiki search facet isn't displayed as I
advertised it in the release notes of 5.3M2
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki53M2#HSearchFacets
because the Wiki Manager API has been removed
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise/commit/b8fcbc7267ff587807698b4afd745f7c3f81e0ae#diff-0
after I closed my issue http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9613 ..

We need ensure that the public API of Wiki Manager (e.g. the script
service) is still available. It can wrap the new API or it can do what
it currently does but it has to remain available.

Thanks,
Marius
