Handbook edit to clarify transition from deprecation to removal

Taylor McCaslin requested to merge tmccaslin-deprecation-removal-clarity into master

From discussion in 13.10 retro

👎 More clarity needed for how to repost and transition from Deprecation to Removals

The handbook is quite unclear exactly how we intend to annouce deprecations and removal and how you transition through the annoucement, implementation stage of this.

My current understanding of the process

  • Annouce deprecations at least 2 releases before removal
  • Repost deprecation through implementation
  • Transition deprecation to removal post
  • Repost removal post until implementation.

TODO Action item: make it more clear in the handbook how this works: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/blog/release-posts/#removals
