@rulewitty-crayon-22786
09/19/2019, 5:21 PMi think that the implicit agreement right now is that @rules are experimental, and nothing is stable in that area.
witty-crayon-22786
09/19/2019, 5:21 PMdoes that sound right?

09/19/2019, 5:22 PMwe don't have a way to deprecate them, for example: we designed our current deprecation method leading up to 1.0.0
witty-crayon-22786
09/19/2019, 5:22 PMi think that minor tweaks to it should work for "this type is deprecated" or "this union is deprecated", but can nail down before 2.0.0

09/19/2019, 5:51 PMI guess my big question is: How will we know folks are using things? 🙂

09/19/2019, 5:54 PMi'd suggest: by knowing who we're collaborating with on a push toward 2.0.0, when that happens
witty-crayon-22786
09/19/2019, 5:54 PMie, by laying out a schedule, and making it clear what we're hoping to do.

09/19/2019, 5:56 PMYeah; my only concern is if folks are starting to use v2 from loose plugins because it’s the only way they can run code in particular contexts, they may not love the instability. But if folks aren’t writing their own loose plugins outside of committers, that’s much less of a concern 🙂
