I agree with this proposal, but preferably after two version than one. And when there is no automatic way to transform the old method to the new one, then do not delete the old method at all.
But I think this should not be some sort of automatic thing. People should be aware that methods SHOULD be deleted after two full versions, if there is no "automatic" way to convert it to the recommended one , even if the deprecated method is harmful (I'm thinking of some old Thread methods).
And for the notion of "automatic way" to convert, I propose a Jackpot thing, then the associated conversion scripts could be provided as a convenience. |
