As part of MCP, there has been some discussion about cleaning out unnecessary methods in Morphic. Here is a way to mark methods for future removal. I'm sure this is not a new idea, but maybe it will help with the housekeeping.
This change set adds Object>>deprecatedOn:by: to declare a method obsolete and provide a warning to any sender of the message to discourage use of the deprecated method.
Send "self deprecatedOn: aDateString by: yourNameOrInitials" in the method being marked for future removal.

[closed] a mechanism for deprecation has been added.
