OK, good!
I never said something like that. I even did not comment on the
this issue
since I have very little insight about the internals at this point.
Anything deprecated in 2.9 can officially be removed in 2.11. It
should not happen that a deprecation happens after the final release.
I think that's the sanest policy. So it's OK if "bullshit" gets
called on people putting deprecation warnings into any .1, .2, etc
through .9 releases, then? This seems like the only thing that can
work. We can't expect people to upgrade to stable point releases
(e.g. 2.8.5 from 2.8.4 or earlier) just to be able to see deprecation
warnings.
But if you agree with this, in order to have a full year's
deprecation
period, as far as I can tell, we'd need to make a policy that
deprecations can only be done in in .0 releases.
See above..I fully agree..
Cool.
A feature should never be removed if there is no reasonable
replacement. A feature should only be removed if it is obviously
broken and unfixable, totally out-dated and unmaintable.
Don't be so hard on the help system. ;-)
