Deprecating versions is important. We don't want to import packages that won't compile, use outdated API's, or have severe security vulnerabilities. However, users should still have the option to take the risk if they want to.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add support for a isDeprecated boolean field, and prevent the installation of deprecated packages / warn user that they may not work. The warning popup would extend to packages that depend on a deprecated package (-version). Furthermore, an optional deprecationMessage string field may also be present and should be displayed along with the offending package (-version).
Describe alternatives you've consideredN/A — This is a crucial feature of package managers
