How about allowing deprecation of simple API features (basically,
changes in specific function signatures etc) in the minor releases?
Then, when a feature is marked deprecated the deprecated feature could
be removed in the next minor release after a suitable cool-down period.
I'd propose a cool-down period of a minimum of one year between the
deprecation and the feature removal to give application developers ample
time to update the APIs in their applications.
I agree, we just need to document it somehow, probably on our wiki.
Should we have typesystem support for depracating features? This might
make it easier to automatically document and track deprecation in the
future? Or am I just unnecessarily complicating things?
