I know that no one knows who I am, but I'm going to say that this is becoming a bike shed.
It sounds like there's generally agreement that people need to be warned that something is going to be removed. It sounds like people that maintain code that is required to be stable and relies on other people's code needs a "this is going to be removed" and a "now I really mean it this time". Django currently has a system that accomplishes this and that is well documented. This leaves the actual term as the problem. The current terms used are common enough to make http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/deprecated.html I would rather see the effort on something that Django currently does not do as well as it needs to and not something it does well and is well understood. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
