• see “to deprecate” column in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rMwbRldYwp-xPsAG2vijqwB__9M7P2AgjDxX31G7ucA/edit?gid=0#gid=0

• eg, ecommerce

• many repos are not exactly clear-cut, many repositories are currently in an ambiguous place, eg frontend-app-support-tools, course-discovery

• keep an eye out for DEPR issues to discuss, but if you have early feedback or want to maintain anything that currently has a “to deprecate” check box, speak up
