[xwiki-devs] [proposal] Add velocity api which is deprecated so that templates can be made to log a deprecated warning.

I would like to start deprecating templates which are no longer used and I think the right
way is to make
the deprecated template throw a warning to the logs when it's called.
I am proposing adding a service which does nothing but is deprecated. Templates which we
deprecate will
have this call added and then users of said templates will have fair warning that the
template will be
removed.
Not knowing what the convention is I will blindly suggest:
$services.velocity.deprecated()
If anyone has a better name, I'd like to hear it.
WDYT?

Wouldn't a logging service make more sense ?
This sounds a lot like a hack to me.

Yes I agree that make the log service avail would be better.
Thanks

Logging service introduces new issues.
How much do you let a user log? Can I fill the disk with logs? If I write logs off the end
of the disk, can I then start attacking without my tools being exposed?
What would the code look like in the template? How many lines would it take to say a
template was deprecated?
IMO the call should look as similar to @Deprecated as possible.
