A deprecation is just a warning telling you that it will go away, we do not remove features from the middle of a production series So you should be good to continue using it for a few months to come, but when the next production series comes around it will really be gone. It's an early headsup. In the run up to the next production release the docs will be updated to reflect this deprecation You'd then use either: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/reference/plugins/connector_activemq.html or http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/reference/plugins/connector_rabbitmq.html > > All the documentation talks about installing this connector. > > What a strange communication.
