Why doesn't anybody listen to me when I say that
it's wrong to just move
 out APIs without a proper deprecation period? It's not OK to ever remove
 individual methods that are 100% unused, but it's OK to completely
 remove a whole plugin that is still being actively used without even a
 single release worth of notice...

  Guys, I didn't pay enough attention to this
topic (thus my +0) but
 what we did is very bad! I used myself $services.wikimanager in lots
 of places and I'm sure others have used it also (especially since we
 moved to virtual mode on by default) so we cannot simply remove an API
 like this. This is not different than removing a method or a class
 from a public API (which would be caught by CLIRR). We need to apply
 the same deprecation strategy: mark $services.wikimanager as
 deprecated, move to legacy, log warning messages when it is used,
 update all places in platform where it is currently used, etc.
 I just found out that the Wiki search facet isn't displayed as I
 advertised it in the release notes of 5.3M2
 
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki53M2#HSea…
 because the Wiki Manager API has been removed
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise/commit/b8fcbc7267ff587807698b4afd…
 after I closed my issue 
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9613 ..
 We need ensure that the public API of Wiki Manager (e.g. the script
 service) is still available. It can wrap the new API or it can do what
 it currently does but it has to remain available.
 Thanks,
 Marius
