https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/19233 Question around https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/86ad0ef3e675053a1800d0bcb4c1dc986be00c19/src/python/pants/engine/internals/specs_rules.py#L513-L529 Is the expectation to change the deprecation to raising an exception, or remove

SecondaryOwnerMixin

altogether as noted in the comment?

I would recommend pushing back the deprecation by one release and pinging the deprecation author to ask them to handle the deprecation in a followup

Ok thanks Eric!

I'm the author of that particular change and I support that policy, in general and here

https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/19233 is ready for review.

🚢
