Since some suggestions have been added in this topic, I would like to use
it to make a proposal for the retiring mechanism:
* add a new list xproperty to the "ExtensionCode.ExtensionClass" called
"status" which will have a "Retired" value, a default one and later a
"Recommended" one (this depends on the need of using this field in the
livetable; we don't want a filter to show "Retired" extensions).
* using "status" property, hide the retired extensions from e.x.o livetable
and EM
* create a new document "Extension.RetiredExtensions" with a livetable
listing the retired extensions
* add a small note(link) above the livetable of Extensions: "See retired
extensions".
WDYT?
Thanks,
Alex

I would keep it on e.x.o for documentation. There may be users that are
forced to use this application. Note that this application is in a situation to the Radeox macros that Thomas wanted
to remove from e.x.o .
Check the "Remove old Radeox macros from e.x.o?" thread.
I agree that it shouldn't appear on EM and on the e.x.o live table.
+1 to keep and not show by default.

I think we need an agreement from authors in order to mark an extension
