Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-8485:
--------------------------------------------
Former employees of a certain large tech company will recognize the antipattern
here. There are two APIs: the deprecated one and the one that doesn't work yet.
We shouldn't be deprecating things until the replacement is ready.
> Finish experiments and commit
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-8485
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8485
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0-rc-2
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Roughly 200 classes and interfaces in Maven core are annotated
> `@Experimental` . There might be a reason to ship a few things in 4.0 that
> might still change but 200 is far too many. Commit to these APIs (i.e. remove
> the annotation) or fix and/or remove those types.
> Ar least some of them such as org.apache.maven.api.services.BaseRequest are
> already package protected, in which case we don't need the annotation at all.
