Its called backwards compatibility.
Depreciated doesnt imply that its going to be removed right here and now,
we have to maintain backwards compatibility to some extent. If you would
like to personally inform and educate all our users about the depreciation
of cast --fix over the period of /one/ release cycle than go right ahead. I
have other things to do than to run a PR firm so everyone knows everything
thats going on inside sorcery when they wont even subscribe to the mailing
lists. I dont particularly feel like screwing them all over by releasing
1.10 with a basically useless version of cleanse --fix, thus keeping them
on cast --fix, then releasing 1.11 without cast --fix in it at all. Users
may have scripts or other things that depend on cast --fix. If you actually
checked you would have noticed that theres a depreciated notice in cast --fix
now, which will stay in for the duration of 1.11, 1.12 will not have cast
--fix because cleanse --fix will have hopefully matured by then. As for
maintaining the code, we have many more important and useful work to do
than maintaining crufty old kyle code none of us understand. If you want
to make a big deal out of rotten 4 year old, then thats your agenda, but
we're understaffed and overworked, so sorry if we're not at your beg and
call.
Thanks, any other suggestions on how to run my ship?
