- Michael_YatesNimbostratusHi Adrian,
- Michael is right on. We mark methods as deprecated when we need to make an underlying change to the configuration objects that make the method parameter not make sense anymore. A good example is when we moved from IP addresses to user friendly names for some of our objects. We do our best to "make" the deprecated methods work but we do reserve the right to remove them a year after we mark them deprecate. The main reason for that is that in some cases, we cannot make the deprecated methods parameters work due to various factors. In most cases, they are left in the APIs, but they could go away someday.
