Discouraged was created, more or less, for "we don't think this is a good idea but don't plan to get rid of it." I don't think we should warn on those. Put it in the linter. But I think we really want to remove smartmatch, so it should be deprecated. Since replacement and removal are disconnected, I think we can set a date if we like. I'd say 5.42 probably, but am open to negotiations. 🙂 -- rjbsThread Previous | Thread Next
