[Wikitech-l] Final Call for Comments on the new Deprecation Policy for PHP code

Hi all! At the ArchCom office hour (aka RFC IRC meeting) on December 14, we discussed Legoktm's proposal for a deprecation policy for PHP code [1]. This would supersede the current guideline [2], allowing deprecated code to be removed after a couple of releases, even if it may still used by some extensions. At the IRC meeting, we decided to approve this policy for a final call [3][4]. This means that it will be adopted as official policy if no new pertinent issues are raised within a week.
