TensorFlow API Deprecation Charter

Status Proposed
RFC # 450
Author(s) Ayush Jain (ayh@google.com)
Sponsor Rohan Jain (rohanj@google.com)
Updated 2023-06-21

This RFC will be open for comment until Friday, July 7th, 2023.

Objective

This proposal outlines an explicit policy for long-term code health by adding a process and mechanism for API / op deprecation and removal, specific to TensorFlow.

Because of TensorFlow’s position in the Google-internal, enterprise, and open-source ML development worlds, we take special care when deprecating or removing public APIs.
