Hi again @bmtcril,
So as per the original ask of this ticket we have removed all of the explicit integration points of commerce-coordinator
from edx-platform
. Code removal was done in pull-35527. We have already added extension points to commerce app in these PRs: PR1, PR2 so anyone who wants to extend the commerce functionality can do so without explicitly adding code into edx-platform
codebase. I know that commerce app is itself slated for deprecation down the line but do you want to us announce the code removal and addition of extension points to the broader openedX community somewhere else apart from this issue?
I think that if you link to this ticket from the Sumac dev / operator release notes with a quick summary of the work that was done and a note that the edx-platform commerce app is still slated for deprecation that should be enough. Thanks for getting this work over the line!

Earliest Open edX Named Release Without This Functionality
Sumac - 2024-10
Rationale
When originally developed at 2U the Commerce Coordinator was intended to be released as an extension to edx-platform to ease the transition away from the ecommerce project and create pluggable, flexible integrations paths for commerce systems into the platform.
Progress was made toward a path where CC had some integration points in edx-platform, however the current state is that it will remain a 2U tool and won't be adopted into Open edX. As such we would like to remove the explicit CC integration points in favor of making it a plugin that uses standard extension points like hooks and filters.
Ideally this is a first step toward removing the
commerce
djangoapp, which has been marked in the code for deprecation for about 5 years now.Removal
This DEPR is for edx-platform removal. There may be CC related code in other systems that are being deprecated separately such as ecommerce.
Replacement
Where needed, new hooks and filters will be added to things like unenrollment to allow any plugin to access those events and take action.
