Deprecated features appear in burndown #4

Open Elchi3 opened 4 weeks ago

Elchi3 commented 4 weeks ago

Is it intentional that deprecated features appear in the burndown?

The VR API (api.VRDisplay and friends) for example is listed as "not cited by web-features" but my understanding was that deprecated shouldn't be in web-features at all?

I think it's more of an open question. See https://github.com/web-platform-dx/web-features/issues/311.

I think it makes sense to do something special for deprecated keys. Maybe add a column for deprecated status, so we can put some conditional formatting on those rows? Would you be open to that? Because I don't think we should act as if the keys don't exist, at least not until the issue is settled.

Yeah, a column for deprecated status would be good. I guess a question for me is also whether or not these should be part of the general burndown that we are currently working on. If I see it correctly, the current count of deprecated keys is 1071. So a somewhat substantial amount.

The current feature statistics say there are 7767 keys to go, or 6696 if we decide to not create features for deprecated keys.

For example, for a recent feature that I worked on, MathML, there are 39 deprecated keys, that weren't included, but appear as unmapped in the weekly feature statistics. Same for the large SVG feature that James is working on

I've opened https://github.com/ddbeck/web-features-burndown-tools/pull/11 and updated the actual Google Sheets burndown to show what it would look like with deprecated and standard track columns appended.

I could also extend the scripts for generating stats to show different coverage % (all keys in scope and all standard, non-deprecated keys in scope).

Over on web-features, it might be nice to just throw when we hit deprecated or non-standard keys, instead of treating them as having some sort of meaning, until https://github.com/web-platform-dx/web-features/issues/311 gets sorted.
