Arbitrary value?
I as a (putative) library author see no reason to be concerned about
what happens if someone replaces the value associated with one of the
names my library exports. Someone who does that to a deprecated name
is, from my point of view, responsible for any resulting fallout.
> What you are deprecating is functionality ..
Again, as a putative library author? Sometimes, sometimes not. I
could well be keeping the functionality under another name and
depecating only the old name for it.
But it's all moot, I suspect, as it sounds as though there is nothing
like consensus on what such a thing should do or how.
