Subject: [PATCH 2/2] RelNotes/2.24.0: fix self-contradictory note
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2019 20:21:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0f3aa67e4aafbb7befd37d83a8c0d53a0a186259.1572466878.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.440.git.1572466878.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

As per Wikipedia, "In current technical usage, for one to state that a
feature is deprecated is merely a recommendation against using it."  It
is thus contradictory to claim that something is not "officially
deprecated" and then to immediately state that we are both discouraging
its use and pointing people elsewhere.
