Just a thought, but deprecated functions stay in the core so that people can get sufficient time to fix their own plugins. This time frame should then relate to how long it (generally speaking) takes people to fix all of their plugins (bearing in mind that for many people, it's not a full time job). Deprecated functions are fairly easy to ignore, etc... > A few facts to think about: > 1) People should be following commits with an atom feed if they care > enough about TiddlyWiki > https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/tiddlywiki/commits/master.atom I really disagree with this. People can follow the commit log if they want to do development on TiddlyWiki core, but if they're just interested, I don't see why we should force them to. For example, I'm interested in Chrome (the browser). That doesn't mean I subscribe to the commit log though. Rather, I subscribe to the chromium blog, and get a summary of important updates (rather than _everything_ that happens). > 2) The last release was in January, if this continues are we really > saying the process of removal of deprecated code should be a year (2 > releases)? We've only recently moved from Subversion.
