There's obviously some work to do here to make this policy easy and convenient to follow. This needs to be edited, CompatibilityPolicy updated, and prominently linked. We need someone to write up at least two different summaries: one for maintainers of projects using Twisted ("What kind of compatibility should I expect from Twisted releases?") one for Twisted contributors ("How do I add a deprecation? When can I remove it?") and maybe one for users and one for packagers, too. We need some tools to help us update deprecations. We need trial to change so that developers are notified earlier than their users.
Do I hear any volunteers...? :)
Me. I wouldn't have raised the issue if I wasn't willing.
That said, I would be greatly surprised if you guys *didn't* have opinions about implementation beyond what Glyph has already mentioned. If you have opinions, either mention them now or out-volunteer me, so I don't end up wasting my time. jml
