#2942 Add a deprecated indication to plugins Issue created by MeltyBot Migrated from GitLab: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/3005 Originally created by @tayloramurphy on 2021-10-22 183352 --- From https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/2992 we've identified that

hidden: true

only hides a connector from the UI. We should add a

deprecated

boolean flag and optionally a

deprecation_warning

string field for all plugins and extractor/loader variants. Alternative would be: deprecated: status: true #default is fales warning: "This was removed 2021-10-11 and replaced with X" # This would be optional and would have a sane default. I like the idea of keeping

hidden

as it currently is. For connectors that we want to deprecate, we could take a staged process to remove it from the UI via

hidden

and then fully deprecate in a subsequent release. meltano/meltano
