    The WifiManager.startScan() usage is limited to: - Each foreground app is restricted to 4 scans every 2 minutes. - All background apps combined are restricted to one scan every 30 minutes." Mark startScan() as deprecated so that we can take away this API in future releases. https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/478ee74428e04522d6ac0bf10c30ddaaf62028a4 https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/...

  This will cripple network diagnostic, security, net-stumbling apps too. Seems like at a bare minimum, higher frequency scanning should be a request-able permission rather than simply outlawed.
