Since some suggestions have been added in this topic, I would like to use it to make a proposal for the retiring mechanism: * add a new list xproperty to the "ExtensionCode.ExtensionClass" called "status" which will have a "Retired" value, a default one and later a "Recommended" one (this depends on the need of using this field in the livetable; we don't want a filter to show "Retired" extensions). * using "status" property, hide the retired extensions from e.x.o livetable and EM * create a new document "Extension.RetiredExtensions" with a livetable listing the retired extensions * add a small note(link) above the livetable of Extensions: "See retired extensions".
WDYT?
