Can there be deprecated cruft without new features? :-D
- kvdveer 1mo agoIdeally: no. All new shiny new features shouldn't have waited for the (N+1).0 version, they should already have been part of the (N).(M) version. In practice, the removing the deprecated cruft will remove blockers for some new features, but that should be rare.
- SkiFire13 1mo agoYes, the features don't need to be added immediately.
- illiac786 1mo agoGood question. I guess sometimes stuff becomes unnecessary due to external factors and not due to new features.
