16.0 Static Analysis Deprecations

Deprecation Planning for 16.0

This issue is a place to start discussions regarding what breaking changes we are considering for %16.0.

See deprecations, removals, and breaking changes processes and guidance in the handbook for reference.

These must be announced, according to the process, by %15.9.

  • ⭐ - we will be doing these
  • ❓ - decision not yet made
  • ❌ - we won't be doing these as part of the deprecation effort

If we're in agreement on an item, and you are the author of the TOPIC, please update it to include the appropriate emoji: ⭐/❓/❌

✅ - we can use this to indicate that an item is complete, but since this is what we typically use to indicate that something is complete, I think it would be confusing to use it to indicate that we have decided to do the item.

Discoto Usage

Points

Discussion points are declared by headings, list items, and single lines that start with the text (case-insensitive) point:. For example, the following are all valid points:

  • #### POINT: This is a point
  • * point: This is a point
  • + Point: This is a point
  • - pOINT: This is a point
  • point: This is a **point**

Note that any markdown used in the point text will also be propagated into the topic summaries.

Topics

Topics can be stand-alone and contained within an issuable (epic, issue, MR), or can be inline.

Inline topics are defined by creating a new thread (discussion) where the first line of the first comment is a heading that starts with (case-insensitive) topic:. For example, the following are all valid topics:

  • # Topic: Inline discussion topic 1
  • ## TOPIC: **{+A Green, bolded topic+}**
  • ### tOpIc: Another topic
