Future Plan #131

Open ripytide opened 2 months ago

ripytide commented 2 months ago

I thought it was worth discussing the specifics of when to deprecate legacy items, several options I can think of:

There is also the question of when/how to remove the legacy items after they have been deprecated and a reasonable amount of time has passed, and what that reasonable amount of time should be.

It might also be worth documenting the decisions to these questions in the readme, so as the information is readily available to users, and then we just need to follow the plan.

I'd like to give users some time to catch up with the existing updates and deprecations.

I don't know how crates are going to migrate Gray now. Without the legacy flag it's not possible to swap v08 to v09, and without the Deref trick, the same source code can't be compatible with both.

I don't see an alternative to a hard-migration for the Gray pixel type, apart from people just deciding to not migrate, which is their prerogative.
