Only show status-bar tile in dev mode?
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Now that the deprecopalypse has come and gone, do we still need to display the deprecation warning in the status bar in regular mode windows? I've been thinking lately that it might help reduce noise, since the deprecation warnings are generally only of use to package developers, and especially now that other packages are beginning to use the deprecation API for their own purposes. My suggestion would be to only show deprecation warnings in the status bar in dev mode windows.
Refs atom/atom#6945.
My initial reaction is agreement. I think it makes perfect sense to make deprecation-cop slightly less obtrusive in "regular mode".
I guess I am a little too late here but I am 👎 on this, 'cause deprecation-cop allowed us to update our public/linter API with ease, and we could expect people to upgrade to it when we push a release, sadly, people don't see it anymore, which means that we'll have to re-invent the deprecation cop wheel. 'cause it's critically important to let people know that we are removing something.
Besides, if someone doesn't like it, they can always disable the package, most of the people don't wanna disable it and they want to know what's working/broken.
