Deprecation watchlist
This page lists functionality, or features, which the development team has declared deprecated, and intends to remove from Rucio at a future point in time. The aim of this list is to give the community an early warning, but also to call for feedback about impact of such deprecations the development team might not be aware of. This feedback might range from giving additional information, to adapting timelines of deprecations, up to reverting the planned deprecation all together. Please reach out to us to give feedback.
Wherever possible, we will give a deprecation warning of, at least, one year for removals.
