That's a lot of people probably. How long are we giving users for this?

​the support for accessing them can be kept for quite a while,

i would like to remove it at the beginning of 2019

Ok, they're currently marked as "deprecated in 4.0".  So we're not
releasing 4.0 until then? Or are we just keeping our options open here
and extending a deprecation is easier then reducing it?

I think the marker PR already qualifies for a 4.0, so I would extend the deprecations.


Thanks! Could you give an example of a marker transfer bug? I've never
run into those myself so I'm not sure I understand what this is.

In devpi-server we have test classes that inherit from another test class. The derived one overwrites one fixture (for example testing through nginx or a devpi replica instead of directly against devpi-server). Because some of these fixtures are expensive, I want to mark the inherited class as "slow". Currently that mark is transferred to the base class and there is no other way to mark only the test functions on the derived class as slow. So currently the base class is also marked as slow. The PR fixes that.

Florian Schulze
