Hi all, now that we switched to time-based releases, it seems that our policy to support old API for two more 3.x releases is not appropriate anymore. Two release cycles are now only 12 months long, which seems a bit short. So let's make the deprecation support also time-based. What time would you prefer?
- 12 months (2 releases) - 18 months (3 releases) - 24 months (4 releases) Note that there is a tradeoff for longer deprecation times. The longer a feature is gone, the more likely it is that you will not remember how it works and thus be unable to help people. For example, do you still remember how the old local component registry worked? I don't! :-) As a corollary, it would be time now to remove the BBB that should be removed for 3.3. Should we wait for 3.4? Or make an exception for this BBB code, since it was written before timely releases came around?
