No API change is required. Old code can continue to use MXAH. New code should use native attributes. > Like something in MX:AH that > when used with a Moose > .90 the attribute traits would output a nice > warning message. > > Warning the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers has been moved > to core, please reference "Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native" for the new > API. I don't see any reason to start warning about it. The code will continue to work fine. MXAH is not really deprecated (we're not going to remove it from CPAN), it's more just superseded. > I've often thought that warnings were better explicit and overly > verbose in libraries and disabled via -X by the end user, but maybe an > env DEVELOPMENT flag would be just as useful.
