Weird to see this described as a "deprecation," when really it's removed entirely.
- swiftcoder 5y agoIt's the end of an (extremely lengthy) deprecation process
- alilleybrinker 5y agoSure, and perhaps in that context "deprecation" is the right description, but in general I've only heard that word applied to an API being in-process for removal, not as the descriptor of the final removal itself.
- swiftcoder 5y agoRight, but this is a standard section in the release notes, where they provide status updates for ongoing deprecations.
- tasha0663 5y agoDeprecate, from Latin deprecari, "to pray (something) away". It would seem the gods eventually answered! OT: it's the same precari that is in precarious, which originally meant something more like "dependent on the will of another". Both definitions have loosened nicely, but it's still fun to see how we got here, and to think of marking something Deprecated as an act of piety!
