Include additional guidance for creating deprecation post entries
Why is this change being made?
The current handbook guidance on creating deprecation post entries indicates that there should be a single deprecation post entry or .yml file per merge request.
Please set up one deprecation per MR by creating a new .yml file in the /data/release_posts/unreleased/ folder with the following contents:
However, I have noticed that other product managers are being more efficient and creating one MR that includes multiple deprecation post entries and .yml files.
As such I am proposing this modification to the guidance so that it is clear that this is an option.
