[HACKYSTAT-DEV-L] Use of 'deprecated'

[Philip Johnson]

Greetings, all,

I notice that the build is now generating deprecated warnings for DailyProjectCodeIssue 
and DailyProjectFileMetric (I assume that Cedric has put these in.)

Deprecation is generally used when you desire to make a change to a 'published' API upon 
which a great deal of code has been written that is not under your control, and you wish 
to provide your clients with lead time (typically one or more releases) before 
eliminating the old API interface.

In general, at this point in the evolution of Hackystat, I see little reason to deprecate 
anything, since (a) the overwhelming majority of code is controlled by us, so we can do 
the updates ourselves, and (b) the changes would be made within a release cycle anyway.

So, Cedric (or whoever made them deprecated), would you please go ahead and eliminate the 
classes that you deprecated, updating any dependent classes as needed?

Thanks,
Philip
