Hi,
We already clarified things for services:
https://markmail.org/message/ohzbubwacoyp6gpf
While working on OFBIZ-12168 "Rename some connoted words like blacklist and
whitelist."
I found these:
1. Three "Deprecated since branch release: Upcoming branch" in datamodel files
2. One "Update service for Deprecate since: branch release" in migration
groovy files. I added another by copying :/
3. Three "Upcoming branch" (once removed point 1). 1 of these 3 is in
DATAMODEL_CHANGES.adoc
I guess we agree that the same pattern used for services can be used for other
things like entities, fields of entities or documentation.
It has been used by https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/commit/44c374a/
So points 1 and 3 are not a problem
But it can't be applied to the second point where a service is not replaced but
used to migrate data from an entity to another.
So it's impossible to use the "deprecated since" pattern and it's not of the
Release Manager responsibility.
I suggest rather put a date there. It will allow to decide when to remove these services from time to time. I propose something like "Update service
created 2021-02".
