To answer Gabby's question, when a practice is "no longer recommended"
or "deprecated", these are two different things. However, in the
future, if we decide we don't like a certain practice, we're going to
need to decide whether to make something "no longer recommended" or to
deprecate it, so it makes sense to have them documented together.
I have removed mention of the P6-dev wiki page from the draft policy on
"no longer recommended" and deprecated practices. I agree with the
objections that various people have raised and was only trying to
capture our discussion in Providence. (The discussion, as I recall it,
went like this: in summarizing the "no longer recommended" option during
our discussion in Providence, I said we should list the practice on
P6-dev, but someone objected, perhaps because they thought that anything
on P6-dev would definitely be implemented in P6.) However, James just
pointed out that presence on P6-dev makes no such guarantee.
