Description
The data for discouraged features ought to help developers understand why a given a feature is discouraged (or slated for removal).
Right now, discouraged features have two parts
according_to
— citations for the discouraged state (such as spec text, a change removing something from a spec, or some sort of vendor action to withdraw that feature)alternatives
(optional) — IDs for other features which might be a substitute for some or all of the discouraged feature's substittues
Together, those might contain or imply a reason for discouragement, but some are opaque or require some insider knowledge to read between the lines. In working with MDN on presenting, they said that using web-features data for deprecation banners wouldn't work unless there was a human-readable reason.
I've filed this to give some missing context for #3193; see that PR for a possible resolution to this issue.
