Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Removing Deprecated methods in XE 3.0+

Hi devs, I think the start of the XE 3.x cycle is a good time to remove some deprecated methods/classes. We have a deprecation strategy defined already: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HDepreca… " Our rule is to keep @deprecated methods/classes for 2 final releases after the version where they were first added has been released as final. For example if a method is deprecated in, say XE 1.3M2 then the method will be removed in 1.6M1 or after. Of course any major new release can deprecate anything. For example a XWiki 2.0 release is allowed to break backward compatibility (obviously we need to be careful to offer a migration path for users of previous major versions). " So 2 final releases mean that deprecations introduced in 2.5.x or before can theoretically be removed for XE 3.0 final. However, IMO we shouldn't remove deprecated methods/classes that are public for scrips since this will break xwiki users. Are we ok to do that?
